Quakers Friars, Grade I listed church building in Bristol, England
The Quakers Friars building features a grand galleried space with detailed wooden decorations and stands within the remains of a Dominican cloister from 1227.
Constructed between 1747 and 1749 by architect George Tully, the building served as a meeting house for the Religious Society of Friends for nearly three centuries.
The meeting house represents a shift in Quaker architecture, as its design departed from earlier simplicity toward more elaborate structural and decorative elements.
The building now functions as part of the Cabot Circus development, housing restaurants while maintaining its historical architectural features and Grade I listed status.
The structure incorporates parts of the original Blackfriars Priory cloister, which was acquired and repurposed for educational functions in 1828.
