| source data:- | Descriptive text:- "..." "... the convents of black and grey friers; both of these were established in the year 1233, as appears from the chronicle of Lanercost. The black friers took up their abode without the walls, the grey friers within the walls of the city. It appears by an old survey of the town, that they were afterwards both within the walls; the black friers was on the south side of the citadel, between the English gate and St. Cuthbert's church. The county gaol was part of the conventual buildings. The grey friers stood on the east side of English street." "..." "... The fire ... was a dreadful conflagration, which had then recently happened, on the 19th of May, 1292. The whole city appears to have been consumed with the priory, the convent of Grey Friers, and their churches; the convent of Black Friers, being near the eastern-wall, alone escaped. ..." item:- Armitt Library : A6666.25 Image © see bottom of page |
