Rushen Abbey

Archaeology

The tallest surviving structure on the site, the church tower was inserted within the north transept, rather than over the crossing, after the church had been completed. Massive beam holes in the masonry at the top of the tower suggest a substantial roof structure, possibly capable of supporting a peal of bells.
