1. The Cloister Marker

Inscription. The Cloister The priory cloister was situated on the north side of the cathedral. It formed a square space surrounded by monastic buildings, the most important being the chapter house on the east side. The cloister was important for its seclusion from every-day life and the new garden has been designed to preserve an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. The garden fits closely to the plan of the medieval cloister, except for about a third, which lies beyond the brick garden wall to the east.
The original centre of the cloister has been marked in the ground behind you. The new Visitor Centre is also located within the cloister confines.
