This is the most complete medieval Dominican priory surviving in England. After the friary was dissolved in 1538, the buildings were bought by a prosperous clothmaker called Thomas Bell. He converted the church into a house and used the rest as a factory. English Heritage provide guided tours on some days in the year. Blackfriars is one of the sights on the pedestrian Via Sacra, a trail winding around the heart of Gloucester.
