Description
The former stable block behind Greenhill Court is a plain rectangular stone building dating from 1625. It features four 2-light 15th-century stone windows with cusped heads located on its southeast side. These windows likely originated from the New Inn, which was built by Abbot Ramsam around 1483 to help share the responsibilities of the Abbey Guest Hall. The New Inn was demolished around 1842 when the current terrace of houses known as Greenhill Court was constructed on the same site. It is unlikely that the windows came from the demolished St Thomas-a-Becket Chapel, which was mostly in ruins by about 1750, and the stable block does not appear to be old enough to connect with that structure.
