Full Description
Finds from the abbey church include thick window glass from Trench 14 of the 2007 evaluation. This trench was probably within 50m of the presumed site of the abbey church, and the glass is almost certainly from the church windows. Four pieces have grozed edges, showing they formed part of panels in a stained glass window. One piece has surface painting, possibly tendrils. This glass is probably of 14th or 15th century date, and so would be contemporary with a repair or an addition to the original abbey structure.
Various fragments of glazed medieval floor tiles are probably derived from abbey complex buildings. <1>
