The Kaleyard Gate

The Kaleyard Gate is a small gateway located behind the Cathedral. Its original purpose was to provide the Monks of the Abbey access to their Kale plants just outside the Walls. The gate was created in 1275 at a suspected Roman building break in the walls.

The practice of locking the gate every night 9pm was recently abandoned.
