Empty House on Abbey Road
Image: © Matthew Hatton Taken: 23 May 2014
This house seems to have been built from red sandstone blocks, presumably taken from the nearby Abbey church of St. Mary's, probably when the east end the church was demolished in 1727, or when the side aisles were removed in the early 19thC.
