Open Doors - Denbigh Friary

Founded by Carmelites, (White Friars in the 13th century), Denbigh Friary was a place of worship for both holy men and un-ordained laypeople. During services the congregation would be split: the friars in ornate choir stalls on the western side and the laity in a separate space to the east.

The Friary was suppressed under the orders of Henry VIII in 1538, and all that remain today are the church walls. Following its dissolution, the church found other uses, including as a dwelling, wool store and malt house.
