Former Lady Chapel
 This is what may have been the Lady Chapel of the monastic church. The large arches have been filled and windows inserted, but these would have been open when the Lady Chapel was in use. It was in this area that the St. Bees Man was found in a vault in 1981 during an archaeological dig. The dig revealed the "night stairs" at the West End of the ruined wall, which the monks would use from the dormitory to attend the night services. To the south of this area is the "New College Hall", built to provide two new lecture rooms for the Theological College in 1863. The ruined wall is all that remains of the monastic buildings.
