THE BARN.
The barn, which has been incorporated in the modern farm-buildings, lies 30 yards north of the cloister, and is an oblong rubble structure considerably rebuilt. The entrance, which is probably not earlier than the 15th century, lies in the south wall and has an arched head formed in two stones. The west gable, once crowned with a finial cross, shows the pitch of the original roof, below which are the remains of a dovecot. The north-west skewput bears a shield charged with two bars embattled. The same blazon is borne on another skew-put, which came from the Abbey Mill and is now lying on the lawn of the modern farmhouse adjacent, but in the latter coat the bars are also shown as corbelled below.
