Recent researches have brought to light various matters of interest concerning this priory; some relate to the dates to which certain portions of the building may be assigned, others to the topography of the priory close soon after the suppression of the monastery, whilst the acquisition of three bays of the eastern alley of the cloister by the Restoration Committee has brought to light work of the twelfth and fifteenth centuries hitherto concealed.

page 385 note a When these notes were read before the Society last May, this seemed to me to indicate that the Smithfield arch was always, as shown in Agas's map, an entrance gateway into the monastic precincts, with rooms for the warden above; but since then, at the suggestion of Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, excavations in the west approach to the church have revealed the base of the south wall of the nave as being continuous to this arch, and that, together with the fact pointed out by Mr. Hope that the arch is seven feet thick, draws me to the conclusion that the church had a west front facing Smithfield flanked with towers, and that these “chambers anciently builded” were chambers in the south-west tower over the arched doorway, which led into the south aisle of the church. The pillars referred to are still there; the one on the south side unfortunately is covered by the shelves in a stationer's shop. The rooms above the arch are now very old, and although the wall appears to be of brick, it is in reality of timber faced with tile skilfully hung to resemble brick.

page 388 note c Mr. W. H. St. John Hope suggests that, as in the parallel case of Romsey Abbey, the transept formed the chancel of the parish chapel, and that westwards of it was a nave continuing westwards down Cloth Fair, parallel to and adjoining the north aisle of the priory church; but whether this was so or not there is not at present sufficient evidence to determine.
