TWW Comment

Tredwell's Gardens was on the site of the Blackfriars west of St Aldate’s/Grandpont. Grandpont was included in the common name of St. Aldate's, corrupted into St. Ole's and St. Toll's. The Blackfriars refers to the Monastery of Dominicans called the Black Friars and Preaching Friars which stood on the island by the Folly bridge at Grandpont. Mr Tredwell’s garden stood on the land where the Black Friar Monastery had stood previously.
