The Augustinian Friars were granted the land on Conduit Hill after their original site on the East Cliff was destroyed in about 1378. The buildings of the friary later fell into disrepair and the people of Rye assisted the friars with repairs between 1524 and 1531. It was dissolved at the reformation in 1538. The chapel building underwent alteration in the early 20th century. It is listed Grade II. The Chapel (known locally as the Monastery), a significant surviving building of the friary, is Grade II Listed and a Scheduled Monument (List Entry Number: 1002296): https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1002296
