Scope and Content Sacristy in church at Iona Abbey, Argyll and Bute The Benedictine abbey at Iona was built around AD 1200 on the site of St Columba's earlier monastery. It was altered and partly rebuilt in the 13th century and again in the 15th century. It became derelict after the Reformation of 1560. This finely-carved doorway lead to the 15th-century sacristy. The door consists of an outer arch of roll-mouldings and hollows over an inner, cusped arch. The arches rise from three capitals on either side of the frame. The sacristy was formed in the 15th century from the 13th-century N choir-aisle. The W third of the aisle was knocked down and the two remaining arches of the arcade were blocked up. The sacristy door was built into the remains of the E arch. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
