Greyfriars, in Bristol, England, was a Franciscan friary. The name Greyfriars derived from the grey robes worn by the friars. It was founded at some time before 1234, within the town walls and then moved to Lewin's Mead in 1250. The site included extensive gardens surrounded by a stone wall. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, the premises were leased to the town council in 1541, who desired to use the stone to make repairs to the town walls, and the harbour facilities. In succeeding centuries many different uses have been made of the site, which is currently occupied by an office block and part of Bristol Dental School.

Greyfriars, Beverley was a Franciscan monastery in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was established before 1267, probably by John de Hightmede, but the exact date is not known. Originally located within the town walls near today's St Mary's Terrace, it was moved outside Keldgate, near Westwood, about 1297. Having fallen in disrepair in the 1330s, the knight Sir John Hotham of Scorbrough provided funds for its rebuilding in the 1350s. Several members of his family were buried there later. The friary benefitted further from grants made by nobles and merchants. The friars acknowledged royal supremacy in 1534, and the monastery was surrendered to the Bishop of Dover on 25 February 1538–39. Although no buildings of the friary have survived, it is remembered by the street name "Greyfriars Crescent".
