Blackfriars is a Dominican friary located in King Street, Norwich, Norfolk, dating from the thirteenth century. The friary was established by the Dominican order and developed into a substantial religious house with church, cloister, and associated domestic buildings characteristic of mendicant foundations of the medieval period. The surviving structures, which include sections of flint and brick construction, represent important evidence of Dominican architecture and urban religious life in medieval East Anglia. The site was dissolved during the Reformation and subsequently underwent various uses, with portions of the medieval fabric remaining visible today as a scheduled monument and important archaeological resource.
