Wikify date October 2011 Greyfriars, Coventry was a medieval monastic house in the West Midlands county West Midlands , England . History The first mention of the Franciscan or Greyfriars at Coventry is in the Pipe Rolls of 1234, which show Henry III allowing them timber to use for their oratory or church. From later documents it is evident that Ralph Blundeville, earl of Chester permitted them to erect their house on his manor of Cheylesmore, on the south west side of the city. In August 1289 Roger de Montalt granted the Franciscan Friars of Coventry a site for the enlargement of their area. He also obtained a license, countrary to the wishes of the monks of Coventry, to close the way leading from Kenilworth to Coventry, but this was on condition he made another way on the adjacent land also granted to them by Roger. In 1359 Richard II granted the Grey Friars as much stone from the quarry in the Black Prince s park at Chaylesmore as they needed for their house. He also granted free access for their workmen for the quaried stone. A grant was also given for the right to dig earth for the walls and plaster, and for a postern gate, or secret gate into Chayesmore park for the recreation of the friars. They were not, however, to pass beyond the quarry. The key the gate was to be kept by the warden, and it was only to be used by those who were sick. The Franciscan friars, or Greyfriars were content with very humble churches as well as conventional buildings. Through the years however, their supporters erected churches on their site. The Hastings family built a chapel on the north side of the friars church, in about 1300, where several generations of the family were buried. John Ward, the first mayor of the city, was also buried in the church of the Greyfriars in 1348. Dissolution Greyfriars church was located between New Union Street and Warwick Lane, in the centre of Coventry, it was originally 240 feet in length by 60 feet wide. The structure was cruciform in shape and straddled ... more details

The site included extensive gardens surrounded by a stone wall. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, the premises were leased to the town council in 1541, who desired to use the stone to make repairs to the town walls, and the harbour facilities. In succeeding centuries many different uses have been made of the site, which is currently occupied by an office block and part of Bristol Dental School .

Multiple issues copy edit January 2011 wikify January 2011 unreferenced January 2011 Greyfriars, Worcester , was a Franciscan friary and school in Worcester , England . History Greyfriars The Greyfriars in Friar Street is the finest half timbered building in the City. From the 13th century until the Reformation the street was dominated by a Franciscan Friary from which Friar Street and Greyfriars both get their names. It was suppressed in the 1530 s when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries. Franciscan friars were sometimes called Grey Friars because of their grey habits. The name of Greyfriars might have come from the house being wrongly associated, from the early twentieth century, with the old Friary as the last building the friars added . 18th century and 19th century historians make no reference to No 9 being part of the old Friary. In 1828 Ambrose Florence merely states large timber ribbed house adjoins the wall of the new city gaol and in 1882 Littlebury dismisses the building as a quaint old timbered building worth glancing at in passing . Official City Guides in the early 20th century also list No 9 under Old Houses remarking one of the most interesting is the large structure in Friar Street supposed to have been an ancient hostelry . However, The Victoria County History eds William Page and J. W.
