An item in the 1805 Gentleman’s Magazine states: ‘Of Bolton Priory, the whole cloister quadrangle has been destroyed. In the centre of it is remembered the stump of a vast yew-tree, such as were originally planted in that situation; not merely for shade and ornament, but probably with a religious allusion’.
