The west front of the abbey was built between 1120 and 1211, but was robbed of its ashlar facing after the dissolution; houses were inserted into the remains from the late C17 and altered in the C18 and C19. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1375539 .

Also known as the Priory. The ground floor is a vaulted undercroft, built c.1300, "the only surviving building of a Benedictine nunnery founded in C12 by Isabel de Bolebec. It was probably a warehouse or storeroom for the Prioress's lodging which would have occupied the first floor hall above. In C18 it was acquired by William Hamond of Haling Park, Surrey who rebuilt the first floor" in the early C18, probably also re-cladding most of the exterior of the undercroft, and building the projection at the centre of the S front, although the sections flanking the ground-floor window on the left are said to be largely original: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... . RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/vol2/pp96-115, item 2; see also www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/vol2/plate-70 for the original knapped flintwork on the W wall which is unfortunately invisible in my photo.

1938 photo on Flickr shows the unusual way that the windows open - the lower sections are horizontally sliding sashes.

About 10.15 a.m., with a heavy frost over the remains of the light snow that had fallen at the start of the week.

Stone griffin made in Dresden, 1730, in the dahlia garden, laid out in the 1930s. Taken, I must admit, because the capping of snow reminds me of a 19th-century lady's lace cap.

Bridge over Quy Water, north of the house. I am rather frustrated to see the out-of-focus twig in the foreground, which didn't register when I was taking the photograph.
