FRIARY REREDORTER The Friary Reredorter was built shortly before 1373 as a dual-purpose building providing toilet facilities for the friars and strengthening the defences of this part of the town. A tall square tower, mounting two guns in time of war, it projected beyond the town wall allowing the main drain to discharge into the town ditch. Access from the Friary Dorter, or dormitory, was by an elevated walkway across the roadway called Back of the Walls. The Reredorter went out of use in the Sixteenth Century and was converted into a dwelling in the late Eighteenth Century.
