Greyfriars, Lincoln, Medieval Franciscan friary in Lincoln, England
The stone building features an undercroft with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and architectural elements from the 13th century construction period.
The Franciscan friars settled at this location in 1237, establishing a religious community that remained active until the dissolution of monasteries in 1538.
The building transformed through centuries from a religious center to a grammar school, where mathematician George Boole studied during the 19th century.
The friary building stands near Freeschool Lane in Lincoln and undergoes renovation work scheduled for completion in 2025.
This structure represents one of the earliest surviving Franciscan friary buildings in Western Europe, maintaining many original architectural features.
