Guildford Black Friary was a medieval monastic house in Surrey, England. ==1272-1538== A house of Dominican friars was founded by right in Guildford by Queen Eleanor of Provence (died 1291), at some time after the death of her husband Henry III, however also received great timbers and money until the end of that century to enable a large construction, in wood and stone. This included £100 (if loose estimates for the year 1323 are taken as accurate, ) and timber from John de Westpurle.〔 〕 The friary was on the east bank of the river, north of the High Street at the end of the present Friary Street. In 1275 on 6 March, Edward I granted the Dominican friars a road leading from Guildford to the royal park and forest opposite, across the river to be enclosed for enlarging their area.〔 Henry VIII dis-established the institution and instead had a secular hunting lodge built within the precincts of this enlarged area. However, he later retained the priory in his own lands, and converted the friary house into a dwelling as an occasional royal resort.〔 In July 1530 Henry VIII gave a 'reward' of £5 to the friars of Guildford, and also what was then a generous annual clerical salary in a lump sum (evidently for some special service) of £12 10s., through the Duke of Norfolk, to a friar called Anserois at Guildford, . The gift of £5 to the friars was renewed in July 1531. It has been conjectured that these gifts were in return for the labours of some of the community, who were known to be skilled in horticulture, in laying out the royal gardens and grounds at Guildford. However his asset-stripping breakaway of the Church of England from the established church saw the friary dissolved on 10 October 1538 but the house remained standing until 1606 when it was partly pulled down on the instruction of Sir George More, who carried away the materials by leave of George Austen, possibly for substantial use in building the wing which More added to Loseley Park, Artington. In 1630 the site was granted in fee simple to the Earl of Annandale, and on this site he had a new house built by Inigo Jones. This property was eventually changed into barracks in 1794, and pulled down in 1818.〔(exploringsurreyspast.org.uk )〕〔 The site was built over and occupied by (The) ''Friary Brewery'' and finally became ''The Friary Shopping Centre''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guildford Black Friary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
