The Dominican Friars Monastery was founded around 1276 and was dissolved by Henry VIII. King Edward III was present when the church was consecrated as was his son, the Black Prince, and three Archbishops. The church stood on the South West side of the building. The refectory and the Priors House remain and are circa 1322. Additions made in the 17th century by Sir Thomas Coningsby of Hampton Court, Hereford were converted into a residence. The ruins were restored during the early 1960s.
