Greyfriars former monastic building, Broadgate - Lincoln

The building is believed to be one of the earliest Franciscan churches in Europe and the oldest friary building in England. It was remodelled for other uses, including a school and a museum. The main clay tile roof covering is in a poor condition. The Welsh slate of the C19 extension has been repaired. Heritage Lincolnshire is progressing a National Lottery Heritage Fund project to undertake repairs and conversion to a visitor centre, venue and offices. Scheduled Monument Consent and planning permission have been granted. After twenty years of vacancy the building has begun to host events.
