CIOB Site Visit: Re-Imagining Greyfriars, Lincoln
2 March, 9.30-11am, Lincoln
Heritage Lincolnshire will host this site visit to the oldest surviving friary building in England, dating back to the early 13th century. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore this exceptional historic building and hear about its future plans.
The ‘Re-Imagining Greyfriars: 800 years of stories in the making’ project aims to bring the Grade I-listed building back into use as a multi-use heritage destination. (See p47 and p48 for more details.)
Heritage Lincolnshire is the most active building preservation trust in the East Midlands and, in partnership with the building owner (City of Lincoln Council), has developed proposals for a highly accessible and inclusive venue in the heart of the city.
The scheme has been supported by The Architectural Heritage Fund, National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Town Deal and Pilgrim Trust.
The Greyfriars was built soon after Franciscans arrived in the city in the 1230s. The friary and church were completed by the 1280s and a stone-vaulted first floor was added soon after. It was used by the religious order until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 and has since been used for many other purposes.
