Listed Building record TR 15 NW 1087 - BLACKFRIARS MONASTERY GUEST HOUSE

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1200 to 1299 Two Medieval timber-framed buildings, one is 15th century in date, both were altered during the 18th century. In early August 1941 it was proposed that an additional civil-defence mortuary, with accommodation for thirty-four casualties, be established at the old Blackfriars Monastery. This proposal was adopted, and was probably executed. Summary from record TR 15 NW 79: Blackfriars Dominican Monastery, founded c. 1236 and dissolved in 1538. The remains consist of a 'frater' on the west side of the river and the guest house on the east side though excavations have discovered the remains of a cloister, church, chapter house and a domestic building.
