What is recorded here
Two cinquefoil arches from Bective Abbey’s cloister were moved into a new south transept at Clady church, perhaps to keep the old arcade visible. They are completely obscured now, turning the grand gesture into a forgotten room inside a living building. The stones may have left Bective because someone believed display mattered more than loss.
A S transept was added to Clady church (ME031-019----), perhaps to display part of the cloister arcade thought to have come from Bective Abbey (ME031-026----) and which is now completely obscured (Moore 1961, 63). It consists of two cinquefoil arches from the cloister arcade (Wilde 1850, 95).
