History

Probably contemporary with the friary buildings, which were constructed from 1858 to 1865.

Exterior

A pair of square-section stone piers with dressed stone quoins and ornate capstones. These have 4-sided gablets with mouldings, their faces bearing stylised blind trefoils. The flanking rubble stone walls have 2 tiers of stone tile copings. The R wall runs E to the SW angle of St David's Church, whilst the L wall runs NW and terminates close to the SE angle of the guest-house with an end pier in the same style.
