NOTES: The circular shape of the building was derived from its use of the concrete slab from a demolished gasholder as its foundation. The walls are faced with local stone and roof is steel and plywood. Apparently self supporting, the roof sits upon the masonry wall, but is firmly anchored by steel bars that rise the height of the wall from the foundations and penetrate the pre-cast concrete padstones on which the roof sits.

NOTES: The church was built in 1160-1187 incorporating the remains of the early 4th-5th century church on the site and traces of a Roman house and baths. The front facade (not seen) was erected in 1589.
NOTES: The church is mainly 14th century with some later additions. The original chancel was demolished some time in the 16th century, but fragments remain. The porch was added in the 15th century and the interior fittings also date from then.
NOTES: The original building was built in the 14th Century and was refaced in stone in the 18th Century as part of a large plan to modernise the entire building, particularly the Front Court (north, south and west sides), by the amateur architect James Burrough in 1742-1745. The east range was similarly treated, but burnt down in 1852 and was replaced by Anthony Salvin in 1852-1853.
