In [[London]], the '''Greyfriars''' was a monastic establishment that existed from 1225 to 1538 on a site at the North-East of the [[City of London]] by [[Newgate]].  The establishment included a conventual church that was one of the largest in London; a ''studium'' or regional university; and an extensive library of logical and theological texts.  It was an intellectual centre of the early fourteenth century, rivalling only [[Oxford university]] in importance.  Members of the community included [[William of Ockham]], [[Walter Chatton]] and [[Adam Wodeham]].  It flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, but was dissolved in 1538 at the instigation of [[Henry VIII]].  [[Christ's Hospital]], and [[Christ Church Greyfriars|Christ Church]] (by [[Christopher Wren]])  were later built on its site.  The building currently standing on the site is currently occupied by [[Merrill Lynch International]].
