Description
The Monastery is a building that dates from around 1380 and is now used as a pottery. It is the remaining structure of the Chapel of the Austin Friary. The walls are constructed of stone rubble with stone dressings. There are buttresses at the southwest and northwest corners. The south wall features three 14th-century windows, each with three trefoil ogee-headed lights and leaf tracery above. The west wall contains the pointed arch of a window, while the east gable, which is from the 16th century, has a square-headed window with two elliptically-arched lights. The windows in the north wall were added in 1906. The building is scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
