| Commandery |
![]() |
The Commandery is attributed to Saint Wulfstan (1085) and was a monastic institution designed to act as a hospital, apparently established with the needs of travellers in mind, just outside the city walls beside the Sidbury gate. It was built around a much earlier Saxon chapel dedicated to Saint Gudwal located to the North of the present building, as has been shown by recent excavations. |
