The fifteenth-century misericord
This stood against the south-east
corner of the misericord and
had two fire places, one with an oven, and a second oven in the
north wall. The complex measured 10m x 12m and was divided into
four rooms, the largest of which served as the kitchen; the room
in the SE corner was probably used as a scullery and there are
remains of a stone troughh or basin in the wall. A pentise ran
from the north side of the kitchen and would have provided shelter
for the monks transporting food from the kitchen to the misericord. |
