Denbigh Friary Church is a medieval friary dedicated to the Franciscan order, established in the fourteenth century in the town of Denbigh, Denbighshire. The surviving remains include substantial portions of the church structure, which exhibits characteristic Franciscan architectural features and demonstrates the religious and community importance of the friary during the late medieval period. The site represents a significant example of mendicant friary provision in North Wales and reflects the broader expansion of Franciscan houses across medieval Wales. The friary continued to function until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which the structure gradually fell into ruin, though substantial medieval masonry remains visible today.
