Canterbury, Greyfriars Garden

Greyfriars Garden, beside the Great Stour, at the heart of the busy city of Canterbury, is the oldest Franciscan site in the UK, where the first Franciscans to come to this country arrived in 1224. Greyfriars Chapel, which may once have been the friary guest house, is all that is left of the 13th century friary.
