The Orthography Section & Groundplot of the Abbot of Glasenburys Kitchen.

Although the Abbots Lodging had been demolished in 1710 one view shows it's earlier elevation.  St Mary's Chapel and the Edgar Chapel are both identified in the transepts.  St Mary's Chapel (identified as St Joseph's) is shown with the South west stair turret still intact, as are parts of the south transept chapels and the choir north clerestory.  Note the wall on the eastern side of Magdalene Street with the only known representation of Chaingate.
