Greyfriars Franciscan Friary grey plaque

This grey commemorative plaque records: The only surviving part of the Greyfriars Franciscan Friary once by the junction of Friars Walk and the High Street.

The Greyfriars Franciscan Friary was a significant medieval religious site established in 1224 by Franciscan friars; its partial survival and later reconstruction reflect both the impact of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII and the Victorian interest in preserving historical structures.
