The friary was founded around 1499 by Henry VII, who had become the patron of the reformed branch of the Franciscan order, known as the "Friars Observant".

The friary was finally dissolved in 1539, as part of King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries.

[2] In July 1543, the former friary site, churchyard and several associated gardens were granted to Richard Andrewes (sic) and Nicholas Temple.

Nothing remains of the original friary, with only small fragments incorporated into the later building.
