ROAD Buckfast.
Gateway to Buckfast Abbey and range adjoining to west. C12 in
origin with a long, complex, structural and functional
history. In process of conversion to abbey retreat at time of
survey (1992). Local stone rubble; slate roof. Plan: the
gateway, which has been raised over the course of time to
accommodate changed ground levels, incorporated medieval jambs
to a C19 arch. The adjoining block has developed from a
monastic single-storey almshouse with various changes in form
and function, including domestic and industrial uses.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attic. The south side (facing the
road) has a segmental-headed gateway at the right end; 3
ground-floor windows; 3 first-floor windows and 3 second-floor
windows; 5 shallow roof gables. Evidence of patching and
blocked openings. North side has one ground-floor window; one
first-floor window and 6 second-floor windows; 4 shallow roof
gables, similar evidence of various phases of building.
INTERIOR: not inspected. Brown's work (not yet published) on
this building combines the documentary and archaeological
evidence.
