Blackfriars Priory,
Gloucester, dating to 1239.
Was a Dominican House. Dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Scriptorium a particularly rare survival. Restored 1960 & now an events space. Today, I was there for Gloucester History Festival #blackfriars #blackfriarsgloucester #dissolutionofthemonasteries

Blackfriars is a former Dominican priory located on Southgate Street in Gloucester. It was founded in 1239, during the reign of Henry III, on the site of a former Norman castle; #BlackfriarsGloucester #EnglishHeritage #wessexattractions
