- Description
- Part of the southern and eastern walls of the southern transept of the late 13th century church of St Mary's Abbey were exposed. Investigation showed that the foundations of the eastern wall had re-used masonry from the earlier church. The mortared and cobble limestone raft of the apsed south transept of the earlier 11th century, c.1088, abbey church was also exposed and recorded. Painted wall plaster on two of the wall's foundation stones could have been part of the earlier Norman abbey church.
