About Franciscan Friary

Franciscan Friary was built in 1827. It has a cruciform plan with a three-bay nave and pebbledashed walls under a pitched slate roof. Notable features include a four-stage bell tower, stained-glass windows, an internal gallery and crenellated parapets.

History

The church stands on the grounds of a former fourteenth-century Franciscan Friary. Its construction in 1827 occurred just before Catholic Emancipation. The bell tower style relates to the nearby Church of Saint Molleran, rebuilt in the same period. This proximity apparently indicates the confidence of the Catholic community during an era of growing religious freedom.
