Description
During a period of stone replacement, conservation and cleaning in late 1999 and early 2000 the opportunity was taken to examine and analyse the fabric. The clerestories were also scaffolded. Deteriorating stone work forming the facing of the west front necessitate a programme of repair. Archaeological recording of the stonework both before and during the repairs was built into the specifications of works. Drawn and photographic record were undertaken. The monitoring was undertaken on an irregular basis when the maximum amount of stone was expected to be removed (S1).
