Ipswich Blackfriars, Dominican friary from medieval times in Ipswich, England.

The remaining structure of Ipswich Blackfriars exhibits Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches and stone walls near the River Orwell.

King Henry III established this Dominican religious complex in 1263, which operated continuously until its dissolution under Henry VIII in 1538.

The friary cemetery contains 250 burials that provide information about medieval society, including evidence of social conflicts through skeletal remains.

Visitors can observe the original footings and a fragment of the sacristy wall in an open grassed recreation area with information panels.

Joshua Kirby documented the layout of the conventual buildings in 1748, preserving knowledge of structures that no longer exist today.
