Full Description
Site of a convent of Crutched Friars, placed in the chapel of St Thomas before 1274. Dissolved 1538.
Standing house of circa C16 with later additions incorporates flint walling and buttress fragments of the chapel; also some detached remains.
Two trenches were excavated within the footprint of a proposed extension to the western wing of the C16 house, revealing two wall footings thought to belong to the friary claustral buildings and dating to the 13th century.
