Blackfriars, King's Lynn

Blackfriars On this site stood the Dominican Friary founded before 1256, enlarged in 1329, and closed in 1538. All four Orders of Friars had houses in medieval Lynn, and the Blackfriars' land extended eastward beyond Railway Road. The last ruins were finally cleared for building in 1852.
