Textual Description
'In the third bay from the north was a great fireplace with a flat segmental-arched head: it is 10 ft. wide and no less than 5 ft. deep, but the chimney-piece has been destroyed. It had two flues running up the buttresses on either side of the window above, and the whole appears to be an insertion of Tudor times' (Brakspear, 'Abbot's House' 158, reporting in 1993).

The large fireplace in the E wall was inserted in 1812.
