This description of the plan is without a date, but must be of the seventeenth century, and shews that the traditionary site of the dormitory was the same then as now.

This is shewn particularly by the Norman doorway at the east end of the north aisle, opening into the eastern walk of the cloisters, the jamb of which is partly hid by the present wall. The south walk of the cloister, under the wall of the church, has been destroyed. In the west walk are the places prepared for the carols of the monks, or their studies, to sit and write in ; these were...
Pagina 16 - VIII., and shews that this side of the tower was treated as external work when it was thus ornamented. The upper part of the tower has evidently been cased and extensively repaired, or partly rebuilt. If it had ever been engaged in the west end of the nave, it must have shewn marks of the junction of the roof; but it has none — neither weather-moulding, nor any other sign of a roof having been joined on to it ; there is every appearance that it always stood as much isolated as it does at present....
