Almost all that remains of the old Abbey buildings is this, the Curfew Tower or Fire Bell Gate (rebuilt about 1460), with its 12th or early 13th-century stone rood in the upper storey chapel. It stands next to St. Margaret's church and was once surrounded by old buildings that have since been demolished.
