[[NOTE.—Extant drawings and measurements, old and modern, show that, immediately to the north of the convent, there stood a large church, fifty yards long by nineteen yards wide. The inmates of the convent had access to it by a private passage from their own buildings. Outsiders entered by a door, beside a large square western tower, outside of the conventual enclosure. The above deed, found by Mr. T. Austin among the Exchequer Gate Records at Lincoln, shows that this church served as the parish church for the district around Godstow. There is attached a broken seal, 2 inches high by 1½ inches wide, showing windows at the top and a doorway arch at the foot.]]
