3 unusual facts about Guildford Black Friary


Guildford Black Friary

Guildford Black Friary was a medieval monastic house in Surrey, England.

However his asset-stripping breakaway of the Church of England from the established church saw the friary dissolved on 10 October 1538 but the house remained standing until 1606 when it was partly pulled down on the instruction of Sir George More, who carried away the materials by leave of George Austen, possibly for substantial use in building the wing which More added to Loseley Park, Artington.

The Victoria County History recorded the skepticism of Tanner's description of crossed friars here.
