1. C. A. Hewett,English Historic Carpentry(Chichester: Phillimore, 1980), 89. Some support for this date is given by the dendro dating to 1256 of King John's House, Romsey, a house formerly within the monastic complex, whose first-phase roof is typologically similar to the first-phase roof at the former refectory (R. Allen, 'The pageant of history: a re-interpretation of the 13th-century building at King John's House, Romsey, Hampshire',Medieval Archaeol.43(1999), 107). Also, a recent archaeological report suggests that the Abbey cloisters were probably being erected in the mid-thirteenth century (Scott (1996), 55,68).
