Chelmsford Friary, also Chelmsford Priory and Chelmsford Blackfriars, was a Dominican friary in Moulsham in Chelmsford, Essex, England. Its foundation date is unknown but lay between 1234 and 1277,[1] when it received alms from Edward I.[2] It was dissolved in 1538 and granted to Thomas Mildmay.[3] The buildings were mostly demolished then, and the remaining couple in the 18th century,[2] and no visible remains now survive, although the site has been excavated.[1][4]
