[1] Wicklow Friary was founded in 1252, during the reign of Henry III of England as Lord of Ireland, for the Order of Friars Minor Conventual (Grey Friars).

[3] It had only 9 acres (3.6 ha) of land and a meadow as an endowment; the monastery was partly funded by the sale of burial rights and bequests; in 1356 it is recorded that the friary received ten cows and a vat of beer (worth 102 shillings) from a donor.

It was dissolved during the reign of Edward VI (r. 1547–53), with the last guardian Dermot O'Moore being expelled.

Today it forms part of the gardens of the town's parochial house.

[6] The abbey grounds were excavated in 2022–23; remains of several monks were found.
