Old Cloisters, Ruthin is a two-storeyed building adjoining St Peter's Church (nprn 309581) on the north side. The building is probably contemporary with the 1310 foundation of the church, although it has since been significantly altered, particularly by 19th century 'Gothicizing'. Nevertheless, some original features survive, including two doorways on the east side. A five-bay vaulted undercroft, now divided, and the tierceron vaulting, with wave-moulded ribs, is visible only in the middle bay. Further north is a transverse passage, with pointed tunnel-vault and chamfered ribs, and containing blocked doorways with hoodmoulds.
