Description:
In July 1962, supported by ‘a substantial grant from the National Buildings Record, Cecil Wright, Lecturer in Medieval Architecture at the Liverpool College of Building, School of Architecture, brought 15 of his students to assist him in the examination of parts of the priory so far unexcavated. With this manpower and his own personal expertise, Wright was able to further explore the church, open up the north chapel, Clapham’s ‘sacristy’ which he describes as the ‘ south chapel’ , and the slype. The Chapter-house and dorter stairs were also re-examined.
