Cloister, The Cellarium

Written by locationyork.co.uk   
The cellarium

The cellarium or storehouse of the abbey occupied the next six bays, and a substantial wall once crossed the eighth bay to cut it off from the rest of the range. There was another wall across the sixth bay, dividing the storage space into two rooms of four and two bays respectively. The sixth bay has a large arch in the west wall, for bringing heavy goods into the building.
