Blackfriars, Gloucester, England, founded about 1239,[1] is one of the most complete surviving Dominican black friaries in England.[2] Now owned by English Heritage and restored in 1960, it is currently leased to Gloucester City Council and used for weddings, concerts, exhibitions, guided tours, filming, educational events and private hires. The former church, since converted into a house, is a Grade I listed building.[3]
