Greyfriars in Gloucester preserves the atmospheric remains of a Franciscan friary founded in 1231. The highlight is the fine timber-framed building added in the 1500s, which now houses a small exhibition on the friary's history. Visitors can see the outline of the medieval church, the refectory, and other stone foundations set in a grassy area. The site provides a glimpse into the lives of the Grey Friars and the evolution of the city around it.
