HISTORICAL NOTE:
Friar Street originated as a rear access lane for buildings in
the High Street until the foundation of the Franciscan Friary
in 1235. The first Friary buildings occupied the stretch
between Nos 11-25. The south end of the street was developed
first, with plots dating from the mid C14, plots at the north
end date frm the early C15. Many of the existing houses date
from the Reformation, the Friary having been suppressed in
1539 and its property sold by the Crown to the Corporation of
Worcester which demolished much for building materials.
Building continued from c1540 onwards, modifications were made
to houses during the C17 whilst several older houses were
rebuilt in the C18. The street was inhabited mainly by
tradesmen: weavers, clothiers, brewers and innkeepers. City of
Worcester Award for restoration, 1993.
