More about this scene
This was the water tower for St Mary's Abbey. At one time the abbey boundary wall stood along the river bank. The little building to the rear, which here has 'baths' written on it, is now used as a store for canoes. The cart horses and their owners are waiting patiently to unload cargo from the moored boat - was it fish, perhaps?
