Dunstable Friary

For the Augustinian priory in the town, see Dunstable Priory.

Dunstable Friary was a Dominican friary in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. It was located to the west of the Watling Street, between the present-day High Street South and the road that is called Friary Field.

The "Black Friars" came to Dunstable in 1259, and settled separate from Dunstable Priory.^[1] The grounds were surrendered in 1539.^[2]

Parts of the site were excavated in the 1920s.^[3] From 1965 to 1967, the Manshead Archaeological Society carried out excavations of the monastic buildings, during which the Dunstable Swan Jewel was discovered.^[4][5][6] Parts of the church were excavated by the Department of the Environment in 1972 and by Bedfordshire County Council in 1988.^[7][8]
