Monument record 1676/10/2 - Possible remains of priory gatehouse, Geddington

Significant medieval buildings were noted in the 18th century in the south-west of Geddington. Now unlocated but the gatehouse is possibly the same building as that depicted in a late 18th century picture

{1} Picture in Bodleian Library showing the gatehouse in 1795. B. Giggins thinks that the north gable of the gatehouse has survived and is incorporated into the southern end of the south west wall of Stoneleigh (1676/0/52). Photo of stonework included.


{2, 3} Site of medieval buildings (unlocated). Bridges records that 'in the south-west part of the village as may be conjectured from the foundations and ruins was once a considerable building. The gate house belonging to it is still entire'. No trace of this has been noted.
