Droitwich Austin Friars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Droitwich Austin Friars was located in the area now known as the Vines. It was established in 1331, when a plot of 300 square feet was given to build an oratory and habitation.[1]

Dissolution

[edit]

The most information available about the establishment comes from the period of the dissolution. James Gairdner gives an account of the Bishop of Dover's examination of various friaries including Droitwich.[2] Its property was disposed of by 1543.[3]
