Full Description
{2} Along the north and west sides of the priory grounds, there is a wide ditch or pond 10m and 1m deep. These channels, forming a continuous line of water along the north and west sides of the priory grounds, lie beyond the landscape gardens of the existing house and have not been altered; they indicate that the whole of the medieval priory precinct was bounded by a wide, water-filled ditch or fishpond.
