More about this scene
This 15th-century gatehouse is in the village of Kingswood, one mile south of Wotton; it is part of the Cistercian abbey which existed here until the Dissolution. It has shallow pinnacled buttresses and a skilfully-carved canopy above the mullioned window, whose central motif is carved in the shape of a branching lily; the symbol of the Virgin to whom the abbey was dedicated. It is now used as a council chamber.
