A modern porch and door near the southern turret leads to the 
cloister court. From here, standing on the south-side of the 
cloister, a good view of what remains of the Priory Church can 
be obtained. 
The nave, which is of late fifteenth century date, may he said 
to be divided into three bays. The westernmost is blank, the 
dormitory having abutted on the Church at this point, as the 
remains of the gable still show. The door which led from the 
Church to the west cloister still remains in use. The remaining 
two bays are occupied by two large four-centred windows, now 
denuded of their tracery. 
In the south-east view of the Priory given in “Rutter’s 
Somerset,” the window south of the tower is shown retaining 
perpendicular tracery dividing it into four lights. 
Above these windows runs a pierced parapet of panelled 
quatrefoils. This parapet is also continued in front of the 
tower, and underneath is another four-centred window similar to 
the others, and also blocked. Between it and the easternmost 
window of the nave is a staircase (which does not however 
project) which finishes above the parapet in an octagonal turret 
with cap and finial. 
The tower rises two stages above the parapet, and one stage 
above the gables of the nave and choir. The lowest stage has 
two-light windows on the north and south sides, while the upper 
stage has four very beautiful windows, one on each face, pierced 
in the centre, and blocked at the top and bottom. Above this is 
a pierced parapet of same pattern as that on the nave, with the 
remains of eight pinnacles. The tower has also diagonal. 
buttresses. 
The walls of the cloister remain on the east and west sides. 
At the south-west corner are the remains of a stair which led. 
formerly to the dormitory. The east wall has three arches, two 
blocked and the third still open. This is a fine foliated door, 
and probably led to the chapter-house.. Through this door
