Bicycles rest at 15th Century Blackfriars Chapel in St. Andrews in Scotland.
15th Century Blackfriars Chapel in St. Andrews in Scotland. Blackfriars is the modern name for this Dominican friary. Blackfriars monks were known as such because of the colour of their habit. The Chapel was formerly known as St Mary when it was in use in the middle ages. In 1547 it was severely damaged by fire and in 1559 to monks were expelled by Protestant Reformers. This was part of a general movement, associated with the Scottish Reformation, hostile to friaries and other aspects of the old Catholic order. The property was given to the burgh of St Andrews by Queen Mary on 17 April 1567. It is currently cared for by Historic Scotland and is situated just outside Madras College.
