Description

The remains of the Dominican Church at Thetford Grammar School date back to 1335. The structure includes the west wall and the north wall of the north aisle, both featuring tall, two-centred wall arches. The walls are constructed from flint and brick, with clunch and ashlar dressings. The layout follows the typical Blackfriars' plan, and the mid-14th century south central tower arch can still be seen inside the library.
