Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1953, SY09NE8 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV336572.
No visible remains. Stone of Bishop Oldham relates to a rebuilding, and is now in churchyard gatepost, probably built in 14th century, restored early 16th century, rebuilt c1688 and demolished early 19th century.
Weddell, P. J., 1987, Devon Religious Houses Survey: Ottery St Mary, 10 (Report - Survey). SDV366679.
The college precinct or close was entered through a gatehouse to the south of the church. A drawing in Dalton (1917) suggests it was a two storey structure. An 18th century painting also reproduced by Dalton appears to show the remains of an arch at the east end of the college close on the south-west corner of the gatehouse.
