Worcester Blackfriars

The Worcester Blackfriars was a monastery in England, belonging to the Dominican Order.

It was founded in 1347 by William Beauchamp, Lord of Elmley.

In 1431, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Thomas Northfield, a Friar Preacher at Worcester, and for the seizure of his magical books.

[2] The site of the monastery in Worcester became a shopping centre in the 1960s, called Blackfriars.

[3] Excavations took place in 1985–6, which uncovered the cloisters and friary church.
