the office buildings of Christchurch Priory, such as the bakehouse,
Brewery and Granary. They are now part of King's School. The range
includes work of various periods including modern restoration after

No 25 The Precincts, which is dated 1659 across the first floor in
brick, replaced a section of the monastic brewhouse/bakehouse range,
which had partially collapsed in 1635. This collapsed section formed
the north-western limit of buildings allocated to the Dean after the
Dissolution. The records of this disorderly period are almost non-
existant and it is curious to find a building erected prior to the
restoration of the Dean and Chapter in 1660. (4)
