Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre is a theatre and community centre situated in Spain Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire, England. The building is a remaining part of a mediaeval friary. ==Building== Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centree is Grade II * listed. The two-storey building was the refectory of a Dominican friary that was "heavily restored and altered" in 1963 when an eastern gable was rebuilt with casement windows added. The interior retains a 17th-century staircase, although not in its original position. ''Pevsner'' describes the building as a long "Friars Hall", running on an east to west axis with its upper floor previously the refectory.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus; Harris, John; ''The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire'' p. 474; Penguin, (1964); revised by Nicholas Antram (1989), Yale University Press. ISBN 0300096208〕 At the Suppression of the Monasteries material from the Friary was used to repair sea walls.〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' p. 74; Methuen & Co. Ltd.〕 Blackfriars Friary was formed some time during the 13th Century. The first written record is from 1288 when it was noted that the friary had been rebuilt after being destroyed by fire. In 1300 the friary housed a total of 29 friars. The surviving building was converted into a theatre in 1965. Blackfriars is said to be haunted by a friar, who hides sharp objects left by theatregoers under the stage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
