This is the site of a medieval Friary established by the Franciscan Order between 1224 and 1244. The Friary was closed down at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538, the buildings then changed hands frequently. In 1826 demolition of the upper part of the Friary took place for the construction of the Southwells Carpet Works. After the factory was demolished in 1989 the remains of the Friary were uncovered, these foundations are still visible today, located along Southwell Riverside in Bridgnorth.
