The London inn of the abbots of Waltham: a revised reconstruction of a medieval town house in Lovat Lane
Derek Gadd
Recently demolished walls at 24-5 Lovat Lane are redated to the post-medieval period. They are not as was suggested when they were first exposed in 1950 part of the late 12th or early 13th-century inn of the abbots of Waltham.
The medieval inn itself is described in a survey made in 1540, immediately after the Dissolution. This document is reassessed in the light of the new evidence, and a schematic reconstruction of the building is proposed.
