History
Set in a historic, Art Nouveau Grade II masterpiece of a building, The Blackfriar was built in 1875 on the site of a Dominican friary. The building was designed by architect H. Fuller-Clark and artist Henry Poole, who were both committed to the free-thinking arts and crafts movement.
Today, you’ll still find Poole’s original jolly friars around the pub, in the form of sculptures, mosaics, and reliefs.
