Blackfriars, Hereford, Dominican monastery ruins in Hereford, England
The remains of Blackfriars include monastery walls, a refectory, prior's house, cloister walls, stone preaching cross, and cemetery on Widemarsh Street.
Founded around 1230, the Dominican priory operated until 1538 when Henry VIII ordered its dissolution during the reformation of monasteries in England.
The monastery grounds contain a rose garden established in 1964 by the Hereford and West of England Rose Society to mark their centenary.
The archaeological site stands in an urban setting near Widemarsh Street, with public access to explore the medieval religious architecture.
The medieval preaching cross within the garden represents the only remaining example of crosses that Dominican friars placed in their burial grounds.
