DESCRIPTION

The Franciscan Friary was extant in 1240. From several documents it is certain that the convent was originally situated in an area behind St. Nicholas's Priory and behind the North and West Gates, viz: between Snayle Tower and the Kings Highway in Bretayne now called Bartholomew Street. Bishop Bytten moved the friars to a site South of the city South gate circa 1292-1303, (see SX99SW41).
