Full Description

The Friary Church, at the north end of the site, was 54.6m long and comprised a nave 31.6m long by 15.5m wide, with north and south aisles separated from the nave by six bay arcades, a choir 23m long by 7.5m wide, including a walking space 3.5m wide at its west end, and a tower on the south side.
The church was built predominantly of septaria blocks, with Caen stone the used for quoins and mouldings. Generally, the walls only survived to a fairly low height, providing little evidence for the location of doors and windows. Some moulded stonework was found in situ, but most was recovered from the demolition layers, or was unstratified, (S1).
