Description

The wall attached to the west corner of the Old Bell Hotel dates from the 18th or 19th century and is constructed of limestone rubble. It consists of two sections that extend approximately 10 meters. The right-hand section features quoins and a small re-used stoop, while the left-hand section incorporates three re-used medieval fragments and timber lintels over blocked openings. Historically, this area was significant as the castle built by Roger of Salisbury around 1118-1139 was likely nearby, reportedly encroaching on a graveyard close to the abbey church. After the abbey acquired the castle in 1216, the outer court was extended, and it is possible that the gateway of this outer court was located at the junction of Abbey Row and Mill Lane.
