The beautiful gatehouse, spanning the road, is much restored. On the left, it is flanked by the church of St. Nicholas, built by Abbot Nicholas of Culham (1289-1307). The main buildings of the Abbey were on the left as you proceed up the road through the gatehouse, but they are gone. What survives is part of the domestic buildings, on the right. A house which is reckoned to have been part of the Abbey's exchequer has a very beautiful chimney of the thirteenth century with gabled top and triple openings therein. An adjoining long structure in two storeys consists of an fine timbered eastern gallery and a western vaulted undercroft with twin chambers above.
