The only monastic building still existing is the church, which was built soon after the foundation in 1088. The S aisle was converted to parochial use during the C13. The W tower is C15. The E arm was allowed to fall into decay as were the claustral buildings to the N. The site of the E end is walled from the parish church and covered by a garden. (3)
Only the W half of the conventual church remains, in use as the parish church of St Mary and St Martin. The E end, including the crossing, transepts and presbytery destroyed. (4)
