This blue commemorative plaque records: The Priory Founded in 1338 as a Franciscan Friary. Became a private residence in 1538 at the Dissolution. Given to the people of Ware in 1919 by Mrs. Anne Croft Recorded plaque organisation: Ware Town Council.

The priory, established in 1338 as a Franciscan Friary, played a significant role during the medieval period as a center for religious life and learning until its conversion into a private residence following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. Its donation to the people of Ware in 1919 by Mrs. Anne Croft marks it as an important local landmark with historical, architectural, and community value.
