Description
The Long Gallery dates from around 1500 and is a two-storey structure. It features a timber frame on a rubble base on the north elevation, while the south side has a two-storey rubble wall. Some of the brickwork has been partly renewed. The building has straight-headed windows and an open gallery walk on the north side. It was formerly part of the administrative offices of the Abbey.
