eye abbey brewhouse c16

eye abbey brewhouse c16
once deemed to be the guesthouse, supports for brewing vats have recently been revealed. this is actually a very interesting building, having quite high status details for an agricultural/industrial building. one window seems to have had a stone surround, and a central niche has terracotta cusping, though windows are not channeled to take glass. why such details on a barn, why did so few monks need such an industrial scale building ? at some time the building was shortened, and stone from the abbey church used to rebuild the end wall - in fact some interesting chunks of columns and carved nichework have been found buried in it lately.
