Standing just west of Holborn Bridge, the site that would become the original Blackfriars
precinct was acquired by the Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) circa
1223 through a donation from
Hubert de Burgh. Over the next forty years, the friary expanded westward to Shoe Lane
and southward along the Fleet to Smallbridge Lane. By the
1270s, the site occupied 4 acres and
contained a church, a chapter house, and one or two wings of accommodation. The friars
left the Holborn friary in the
1280s to establish
a new friary, Blackfriars (Farringdon Within), on a more prestigious site. The Holborn site was sold in
1286 to Henry de Lacy
(Holder 1–26).

Blackfriars (Farringdon Within)
The largest and wealthiest friary in England, Blackfriars was not only a religious institution but also a cultural, intellectual, and political centre of London. The friary housed London’s Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) after their move from the smaller Blackfriars precincts in Holborn. The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site, overseen by Robert Kilwardby, began in 1275. Once completed, the precinct was second in size only to St. Paul’s, spanning eight acres from the Fleet to Puddle Dock Hill and from Ludgate to the Thames. Blackfriars remained a political and social hub, hosting councils and even parlimentary proceedings, until its surrender in 1538 pursuant to Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (Holder 27–56).Blackfriars (Farringdon Within) is mentioned in the following documents:
