The Monastery was formerly the chapel of the Austin Priory, which was dissolved in the 16th century.
This is a modern print of an older photograph.
The partial negative number 'A/44' is recorded on the back of the print but the remainder has been lost when the print was cut. According to the National Buildings Record Negative Entry Book, R. G. Collins deposited 63 negatives in 1944, numbered AA44/00151 to AA 44/00213.
This photograph was withdrawn from the open Red Box Collection for conservation reasons during the 2011-2012 Red Box Project.
The photograph was received by the National Buildings Record on 23rd September 1943.
