These are the only surviving friary buildings in Bristol. The Order of Friars Preachers (Dominicans) were evangelists with a mission to towns. They were known as black friars from their black habit. Their friary in Bristol was a large one, founded around 1227. It took up the whole area now known as Quakers’ Friars. All that remains is part of its lesser cloister, much altered. It is now part of Bristol Register Office.
