A historic old tudor building on Friar Street, run today by the National Trust. As it was a Sunday afternoon in September, it wasn't open. It is a 15th century merchant's house. Built in 1480, it was saved from demolition in the 1930s. <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-thegreyfriars" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Greyfriars - National Trust</a> It is Grade I listed <a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-488810-the-greyfriars-worcester" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Greyfriars, Worcester - British Listed Buildings</a> WORCESTER SO8554NW FRIAR STREET 620-1/17/283 (East side) 22/05/54 The Greyfriars (Formerly Listed as: FRIAR STREET Greyfriars) GV I House, possibly house and brew-houses. c1485 for Thomas Grene, brewer and High Bailiff of Worcester (1493-97), and his wife Elizabeth; later additions and alterations include probably C16 extension to north wing; further alterations of c1600-30 for Francis Street include the insertion of a staircase, parlour windows and internal frieze, at this stage the rear, south range (ie. possible brew-house) was apparently incorporated into the building; Early C18 a further range was added to the south wing. c1870s the building was converted into 3 shops with tenements, and c1940s (date 1949 on fall-pipes) extensive renovations were carried out for Elsie and Malcolm Matley Moore when the ground-floor front facade was re-created and additional flooring and panelling were inserted.

The first-floor is jettied with a bressumer beam which has hollow, ovolo, hollow and double-ovolo moulding, supported on carved and ovolo-moulded brackets, some renewed. Carving to the brackets on either side of the carriage arch bears the initials 'TG' (Thomas Grene) and 'EG' (Elizabeth Grene) and shields; there is foliate carving to the spandrels of the carriage arch. Slender columnettes articulate the main posts to the ground- and first-floors. Carved bargeboards, partly renewed. Good carpenters marks are clearly visible within the carriage arch.
