Description
Former barn. Stone rubble walls; slate roof. Facing Cathedral, boarded loading door at upper floor level, and doorway below with dripstones. To L of this, broad doorway with relieving arch above (modern doors), to L again, a 3-light mullioned window in former doorway with dripstones. To R of centre door, a broad doorway (modern glazed doors) and a doorway with dripstone and boarded door. At L end, roof runs down over porch on square stone piers covering former saw-pit. South-west wall to Priory Hill forms part of the boundary to the former Priory precincts; pierced by five window openings with moulded wood architraves, three of them with ovolo moulded mullions of C17 type; modern gargoyles.
Within, queen-post roof with struts from tie-beam to walls; remains of partitions; chamfered beams; floor of stone cobbles. The bell frame from the Cathedral tower has been removed to the barn. This is probably of C18 date, but many of the timbers appear to have been re-used from an earlier frame.
