Abbey Gateway Window

The Abbey Gateway has a window above it, with a room behind it. Legend has it that a young wife had arranged a secret tryst with her lover in that room, glanced out of the window, and saw her husband heading across the square, straight towards them. She waited until he had passed underneath the archway and was heading up the stairs to the room, then opened the window and jumped. Her full skirts billowed out like a parachute, she landed safely on the ground, and ran away. Legend does not add what happened to either the lover or the husband...
