Name:THE FRIARS, MAIN BLOCK

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1200 to 1999 Curia or Outer Court L 15thc on E 16thc The first friary at Aylesford, founded in 1241, consisted of individual wooden huts in accordance with the Carmelite custom. The hermitage was bounded by the River Medway on one side and a moat on the other. The rectangular moat enclosed a humble chapel and probably the Manor House, a modest timber building presented to the friars by Richard de Grey. The eastern arm of the moat was filled in when the curia, or outer court of the friary, was built in the mid 13th century. The area is now under a spinney and part of the outer court of the Friary. There is no trace of the moat.

Summary from record TQ 75 NW 29 :

Carmelite Friary

Summary from record TQ 75 NW 86 :

The original friary building was mainly 13th century. The south range consisted of a refectory with a kitchen at the western end. There is a 15th century pulpit and a lavatory. The west range consisted of the prior's lodgings over a parlour and hall.

The friary was remodelled in the 15th century and the cloisters are mid 15th century with traces of 13th century masonry. In 1451 Sir Walter Redesdale bequeathed money "for the new work of the cloister." There are moulded perependicular arches, shafted inside. The walling with the windows over the walks is modern.

The friary was remodelled in 1542 as an Elizabethan mansion and again in the mid 17th century. The mansion was burnt down in 1930 and the rebuilding revealed many early features. The buildings are now used by the Carmelite Order.

Summary from record TQ 75 NW 87:

The rebuilding of the Carmelite Friary on the remains of an earlier monastic site have revealed many features of the original buildings. Excavations exposed the old foundations of the eastern range of the friary and these are now buried beneath a high flood bank.

The Chapter house was a separate building and the eastern side of the cloister was formed by the dorter. The buildings were demolished at the Dissolution but the foundations of the cloister walk on the east and north sides have been built up to the new ground level. They have been built with stone and preserved.

Description from record TQ 75 NW 88 :
[Centred TQ 72345885] The curia is bounded on the south by the guesthouse and water-gate and on the east by the western range of claustral buildings. The west side is formed by a long barn of late 15th or early 16th c. date with a contemporary roof. The buildings on the north side seem to have been a range of farm-buildings and offices. Of late 15th or early 16th c. date, it has several original doorways. A curious lobby between the two sides may be connected with destroyed latrines. A post-Dissolution grant mentions "a granary over the limehouse" and a stable and carthouse in the curia. All the buildings have their Md roofs but the trusses were mutilated, temp. Eliz. to provide attic accommodation. (1) Description by Authority 1 correct. The buildings are in excellent condition. There are many original features remaining. Mr Ashenden, friary surveyor, stated that the buildings on the west and north sides of the curia are now living accommodation for the lay brethren. External evidence of the alterations temp. Eliz. (Authy 1 refers) can be seen in the rows of small dormer windows with their carved bargeboards, along both west and north ranges. GP/AO/59/7/8 from SE. (2) Checked and correct. (3) TQ 7258. The Friars, main block, Bull Lane (east side) Grade I. Curia: Interior of Courtyard - this stands to the west of the cloister ranges and apart from the guesthouse (TQ 75 NW 89) in the south range of 15th century date, dates from the 16th century, restored in the mid 20th century. Square in plan for north, west and south sides, with splayed eastern win attached to rear of cloister and domestic blocks at north end. (4) Blocked 15th century gateway into the Curia, or service court. The Curia has ranges round three sides, of ragstone on the ground floor and plastered above, with large dormers with decorated bargeboards. All this however, must be post-Reformation. Stone doors and windows like the 1590 doorway in the gatehouse (TQ 75 NW 84). (5)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 98:
[TQ 7232 5882] The first friary consisted of wooden huts separated in acordance with the Carmelites cenobitic custom, and a humble chapel, enclosed within a moat to the west of the existing remains. The eastern arm of the moat was filled in when the curia or outer court of the friary was built in the mid 13th century. (1) The rectangular moat must have contained the Manor House - probably a modest, timber house, presented to the friars by Richard de Grey. (2) The first hermitage was bounded by the river on one side and a moat. The area is now covered by a spinney and by part of the outer court of the friary. The eastern arm of the moat was filled in at an earlier date. (3) All traces of the moat have vanished. There is a kitchen garden over the site. (4) Checked and correct.

Watching brief on flood defences. Significant medieval remains were revealed associated with the Carmelite Friary. Elements of both the late 13th century construction and late 14th to early 15th century rebuilding phases were noted.(11)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 29 :
[Centred TQ 72355885] The Friars [NR] Erected AD 1240. (1-3) Ecclesiastic History. Aylesford - Important remains of a Carmelite House, founded 1241-2, dissolved 1538. There is some doubt as to whether this or Hulne was the first English house of the order. Refounded 1949. (4) Carmelite refugees were brought to England by Rich.de Grey in January 1241-2, who founded a house for them on his manor at Aylesford. The church was dedicated 31.8.1248 but in 1348 mention is made of a new church to be built which wad dedicated 4.5.1417. The house was surrendered before 13.12.1538 and granted to Sir Thom.Wyatt in 1542. (5) Detailed descent of manor from Domesday to date of writing given. Friary founded 1240. (6) Architectural Description. The first friary consisted of cenobitic wooden huts and a humble chapel enclosed within a moat. [TQ 75 NW 98] It was soon superseded by a conventional claustral to the east of the moat, the church of which was consecrated 1248. The friary consisted of the church, with a cloister between it and the river and a cuna or outer court on the west of the cloister. The south and west ranges of the cloister [TQ 75 NW 86] comprising frater and prior's apartments, are probably mainly 13th century but together with the rest of the buildings were remodelled in the 15th century. The new church, a normal friary church, was consec.1417. [TQ 75 NW 85] The east range with a separate chapter-house [TQ 75 NW 87] has disappeared under a flood bank and with the church was demolished for building material after the Dissolution. The south and west ranges were incorporated into a mansion, rebuilt in the late 17th century and again after a fire in 1930. The precinct wall and gatehouse [TQ 75 NW 84] date from the 15th century; the gatehouse was radically altered temp.Eliz. An inner gatehouse [TQ 75 NW 91] to the curia was erected in the late 15th century. This curia includes a 15th century guesthouse [TQ 75 NW 89] and water gate [TQ 75 NW 90] and other domestic or farm buildings [TQ 75 NW 88]. The site of the infirmary [TQ 75 NW 92] and of the cemetery [TQ 75 NW 94] have been inferred from post-Dissolution MS sources. [There appear to have been fish-ponds, see TR 75 NW 93] Sim infm. but original buildings dated to mid-14th century when transfer from moated site is said to have been made. (8) The establishment is still known as "The Friars" (Notice board to visitors at the entrance). A stone tablet within the grounds gives the date of foundation as AD 1241 and AD 1949 as the year of re-foundation. An Antiquity Model survey has been carried out. (9)

Three pits dug nothing of interest found. Considerable dumping has raised the level of the ground.(20).

Watching brief on flood defences. Significant medieval remains were revealed associated with the Carmelite Friary. Elements of both the late 13th century construction and late 14th to early 15th century rebuilding phases were noted.(21)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 86 :
[TQ 72385887] The south and west ranges of the friary were incorporated into an Elizabethan mansion. At the middle of the second half of the 17th c. the house was again remodelled. In 1930 the house was destroyed by fire and the subsequent rebuilding has permitted a number of Md features to be exposed. The south range comprised a refectory with the kitchen under its western end. It contains a 15th c. pulpit and lavatory. The building is mainly 13th c., remodelled in the 15th c. The west range consisted of the prior's lodgings over the parlour and hall. It contains Md. openings and details and is mainly a 15th c. remodelling of the 13th c. original. The cloister-arcades are mid-15th c. but there are traces of 13th c. masonry. (1) Original buildings dated as mid-14th c. The refectory is now a chapel for the new foundation of Carmelites. (2) Description by Authy 1 correct. The buildings are in excellent condition. GP AO/59/8/2 from NE. (3) Checked and correct. (4) Of the cloisters, south of the church, the south and west walks remain, with the residential ranges behind them. Moulded Perpendicular arches, shafted inside. There was never any tracery. Sir Walter Redesdale bequeathed money in 1451 'for the new work of the cloister'. The walling with the windows over the walks is modern. The refectory lay on the upper floor of the south range. Its pulpit was in the projection in the south wall. The inner arch, steps, and the window to the right of it are the only original features. The kitchen occupied the junction of the two ranges, on the ground floor. (5)
Formerly TQ75 NW 98

Description from record TQ 75 NW 87:
[TQ 72425887] The east range of the friary has vanished and its site is buried beneath a high flood bank. The chapter house was a separate building and the eastern side of the cloister was formed by the dorter. The ground floor is of uncertain use - the south end was probably a common room. The buildings were demolished at the Dissolution. (1) Refers to excavations by Col T.B. Shaw-Hellier. Directly opposite the front door of the present house were traces of the chapter-house. (2) No plan or record of the excavations were kept. Foundations are visible in dry summers. (3) In connection with the construction of the new church, excavation has exposed the old foundations of the east range of the friary. Close by, in the river bank, much rubble walling lies exposed and more has been washed down by the river Medway to lower levels. The greater part of the foundations of the cloister walk on the east and north sides have also been exposed and like the foundations of the old church, these and those of the east range are being built up to the new ground level with stone, and preserved. An Antiquity Model survey has been carried out, but as further work is in progress it should be checked by the field Reviser. (4) Checked and correct. (5)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 89:
[TQ 72375883] Overlooking the river is a two-storied structure which may have been the guesthouse. It is built of five bays. A 15th c. doorway on the ground floor has been removed from the westernmost bay and there is an added post-Reformation doorway. In the centre of the river wall is a small doorway leading directly onto the water. (1) Building in excellent condition, retaining many original features, including roof timbers. It is now known as the Pilgrim's Hall, and is a dining hall for visitors. GP AO/59/7/6 from NW. (2) Checked and correct. (3) TQ 7258 The Friars, main block, Bull Lane, (east side) Aylesford. Guesthouse in the south range of 15th century date. (4) Stone building incorporated in the south east corner, backing on to the very river bank was originally free standing. It may have been the guesthouse. Two 15th century doorways and two trefoiled single- light windows. (5)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 90:
[TQ 72365882] In the precinct wall at the end of the guesthouse is the watergate leading onto a riverside quay. It has a wide two- centred arch and was once accompanied by a small apartment with a 15thc. window in this west wall. The room is now incorporated into a long barn forming the west side of the curia - [see TQ 75 NW 88]. (1) Description by Authy 1 correct. The watergate has been fitted with wooden doors on the river side, and is now used for a garage. GP AO/59/7/7 from N. (2) Checked and correct. (3) TQ 7258 The Friars main block, Bull Lane, Aylesford. On the south front of the friary, a wide central chamfered and pointed archway, originally the watergate. (4)

Description from record TQ 75 NW 91:
[TQ 72375889] Late in the 15th c. a wing was built from the west front of the friary church to provide a gatehouse to the curia or outer court. The lodgings over the gate passage remain, with several contemporary fireplaces, but the passage is blocked by walling. (1) Description by Authy 1 is correct. The building is now used for offices. In excellent condition, much restored with many modern featues, but retains some original features too. GP AO/59/8/1 from SW. (2) Checked and correct. (3) Blocked 15th century gateway into the Curia at "The Friars". (4)


Historic building analysis in Jan 2009 of the SE-facing elevation of the first floor of the watergate building, located in the southern corner of the cloister. This revealed the original C15 building was a fully timber-framed construction of five bays with two unglazed windows evidenced by diamond mortises. With the current render removed it is clear that the beams were originally uncovered. The second phase of construction in the C16 saw the rebuilding of the ground floor in stone. Early C17 alterations saw the addition of larger, glazed casement windows which truncated some of the footbraces. The elevation was rendered at this point to conceal the truncated footbraces and outdated construction style, and partially concealing the jettied construction. (22)
