More about this scene
East of the Checker is the Long Gallery. The north side has a timber-framed upper floor which was in fact a gallery in front of a range of lodgings, possibly for abbey guests, possibly for minor monastic officials. Certainly it was not a long gallery in the Tudor country house sense. All the partitions were removed, opening up the interior, probably when it and the Checker became part of the Abbey Brewery before 1600 (it closed in 1895). A very fine building, it is usually open to the public on two afternoons a week between April and September.
