Site of the first Franciscan friary in Great Britain, built whilst St. Francis of Assisi was still alive. The old Pilgrim Guesthouse is all that remains and it is used as a chapel by today's Franciscans and others. It straddles the river. Recently replanted Franciscan Gardens. Inspired by the site’s original use as a Franciscan Friary. In 2000, the Greyfriars Chapel and Franciscan Gardens were sold to the Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, Canterbury, who currently oversee the everyday maintenance of the building, and the weekly services in the Chapel. Surrounded by the Franciscan Gardens.
