What is recorded here

This green commemorative plaque records: Denbigh Friary. This building is part of the friary of Carmelites, or White Friars, probably founded by Sir John Salusbury of Llewenni in about 1289. The remains date from about 1300 with later alterations , and consist of the east end, or quire, used by the friars, and part of the west end, or nave, used by the public. Over the middle of the church was a wooden steeple. The door on the south side led into the cloister, round which were grouped the living quarters of the friars. The well was dug after the building had ceased to be used as a church.
Denbigh Friary was a Carmelite monastery founded around 1289 by Sir John Salusbury, serving as a significant religious and communal center in medieval Denbigh. The remaining structure includes the quire for friars and part of the nave for public use, reflecting its role in both spiritual and community life.
