Beverley Friary
Heritage Open Day: The old Dominican Friary has an exotic 800 year history: come and see this hidden treasure and the 16th century wall paintings. Rarely open to the public. The remains of the once vast Friary lie within 150 metres of the Minster, yet relatively few people know that it exists. Founded in 1233, the church and cloisters now lie below the railway line and Armstrong Way: the east end of the church is outlined in modern brick in front of East Riding College. The archbishop of York (lord of Beverley) confirmed Stephen the Goldsmith’s gift of the site to the Dominicans, also known as the Black Friars from the colour of their robes. Chaucer’s friar who wandered around Holderness was a Dominican.
