Anderson Place, Newcastle upon Tyne, situated within the city walls near the ruins of a Franciscan Friary, was built in the 16th century by Robert Anderson, and was also known as Grey Friars or the Newe House. King Charles I stayed there during his captivity in Newcastle (1646-1647) under General Leven, who later broke with parliament to support Charles I before being defeated by Oliver Cromwell’s army at Dunbar in 1650.
