NHER 21666 (Building record) - The Clink

Lock up, 'The Clink'.
Small red brick building on massive flint plinth which listing suggests is remnant of part of remains of priory (NHER 8005).
Central pointed doorway to east (road); pantiled hipped roof, dentilled cornice. No visible windows.
(S1), 1984 suggests 18th century date. Attached to long 18th/19th century boundary wall incorporating much reused stone (part of NHER 8005).

The base of the east wall, up to a height of about 1.5m is clearly the medieval precinct wall. It has been part demolished, then raised again above a string course, in flint. The upper part of the walling is of brick, as are all the side walls, these date from the period of the 'clink' which has a dentilled cornice. The bricks are in English bond and may have horizontal skintlings but this is not clear. Date is late 18th or early 19th century.
