GATEHOUSE. Chapel Barn Lodge, one of the entrances to the Abbey House, which lies north west of the church, has been contrived from one of the monastic outbuildings, perhaps a gatehouse with a transe in the lowest part. Only the west gable is original. It contains part of a vaulting respond and a vault springer as well as an aumbry. The present surface of the road is about five feet below the former level.
