	The Blackfriars Theatre
		Blackfriars was the location of many momentous events, such as the repudiation of Catherine of Aragón by Henry VIII, and the voting of the Parliament to charge Cardinal Wolsey with treason.
		In 1596, another part of the old Blackfriars was bought by James Burbage, owner of the Theatre and father of famed actor Richard Burbage, for £600 from the estate of Cawarden, late Master of Revels.
		The residents of Blackfriars got an injunction against the theatre being used by an adult troupe and Burbage had to lease the playhouse to children's companies—around 1597, the Chapel Children are found in residence.

	In Search of Shakespeare . Blackfriars, London \| PBS
		Blackfriars, having real stone-paved streets, and a noticeable absence of mud, was a more desirable location for theatre-goers in London's cold, hard winters.
		The Blackfriars Monastery itself, which had ceased to function as a monastery under the reign of Henry VIII, filled a 125-yard-square plot and had been divided up and leased out by property developers.
		Shakespeare's indoor theatre was housed in the monastery's former fratery, and occupied a space 46 feet by 66 feet.

		The buildings, which had been in the occupation of Cawarden, were in the old precinct of the “Blackfriars preachers,” or Dominican monks, and had formed part of their monastic dwelling.
		Blackfriars, in those days, was a popular resort, not, like Finsbury fields, for the people, but for nobles and gentry, who went there to play tennis; there were also a few aristocratic houses on a small portion of the site of the monastery.
		In 1600, Richard Burbage leased the Blackfriars to one Henry Evans for 21 years at a yearly rent of £40, and Evans continued the children’s performances.

	Blackfriars, Oxford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English Dominican House of Blackfriars Hall in Oxford, commonly known simply as Blackfriars, is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
		Despite the fact that many of the dates and figures of Oxford's medieval and early life are imprecise, Blackfriars' history is unusually well documented, largely as a result of the hall being part of an international fraternity of scholarship, which was able to monitor and document its fortunes, even during times of the hall's collapse.
		As such, the hall has some claim to be heir to the oldest tradition of teaching in Oxford, a tradition that precedes both the aularian houses that would characterise the next century and the collegiate houses that would characterise the rest of the University's history.

	§5. The Children at the Blackfriars: profitable nature of the undertaking. XI. The Children of the Chapel Royal ...
		The Blackfriars property was purchased from Sir William More on 4 February, 1596, by James Burbage, apparently because of its suitability for a playhouse.
		In November of the same year, the inhabitants of Blackfriars petitioned the privy council against Burbage, declaring that he “is now altering it and meaneth very shortly to convert and turne the same into a common playhouse.” How effective this petition was in hindering or delaying the projected playhouse we have no means of knowing.
		It is commonly held that the children of the chapel were playing there as early as the end of 1598, and this is probably true.
