Excerpt from Monastic and Baronial Remains, Vol. 1 of 2: With Other Interesting Fragments of Antiquity, in England, Wales, and Scotland
The arch is ornamented with a profusion of Gothic niches, and ornaments; the refectory is converted into a barn, and forms a pleasing subject for the pencil; a curious gateway in the street of Walsingham, leading to these ve nerable ruins, still remains, through which the arch appears a striking and singular object*. In the town are the ruins of a priory, and four miles hence is the abbey church of Binham, with a curious front.
