Remains of this See also:building appear in the ruined See also:nave and See also:tower See also:arch, but the most splendid fragment is the See also:west front, of See also:Early See also:English date, with Perpendicular restoration.

Among the abbots was Ingulphus (1085-1109), to whom was formerly attributed the Historia Monasterii Croylandensis. A curious triangular See also:bridge remains, apparently of the 14th See also:century, but referred originally to the See also:middle of the 9th century, which spanned three streams now covered, and affords three footways which meet at an.See also:apex in the middle.
