Gatehouse, Canonsleigh
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 3 Mar 2010
Part of the remains of the Augustinian abbey is this C15 gatehouse; "an interesting relic of monasticism although its poor state of preservation creates concern over its future" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=95853 . Noticed while trying to find Burlescombe Footpath 26, which is inadequately waymarked, and does not run where shown on the maps. Clue: look for the incredibly muddy gateway.
