By the 1760s visitors arriving at the main entrance could have looked to their right and glimpsed, through an intricate stone screen, a Prior's, or Priory Garden filled with sweet smelling herbs and flowers.
 

On the left a view of the Prior's Garden, engraving by Godfrey from a watercolour by Pars.

Above a view of the Prior's Garden in December 2007. The stone screen is boarded up and the skip is an early 21st century addition.

May 2008 and the stone screen is revealed again.
