A number of skeletons were found in shallow soil while the Spanish Garden, E of the house, was being made not many years ago (author suggests they may have been Civil War soldiers). (1)
Letters patent of 1356-7 refer to the side of the infirmary close to the churchyard. The parlour between the S transept and the chapter house was also a passage to the churchyard. (2)
The site is now covered by the gardens of the Abbey. Nothing is known of the skeletons found early in this century. (3)
