The Friary |
|
The name Greyfriars was the original name of the church and friary in St Ebbe's founded by the Franciscans in 1224, which was subsequently suppressed during the Reformation. In 1905 the Capuchins opened a friary called St Anselm's in St John's Street. In 1919 they moved to Iffley Road, and when, in 1930, a site became vacant across the road, next to the church of St Edmund and St Frideswide, the the Jesuits decided to hand the church over to the Franciscans. Father Cuthbert Hess then commissioned Gilbert Gardner to design a friary on the adjoining site. The building was completed by September 1931 and given the medieval name of Greyfriars.
