Full description
Reckoned by Noake to have been close to and south of, or south and east of, the cathedral choir, in the traditional Benedictine location {1}.
With the development of the claustral ranges and other buildings of Wulfstan's post-1084 rebuilding, the cemetery would have to have been moved from its pre-Conquest location (WCM 96370) under, east, and probably south of the refectory.
