- Site Name: Alleged Priory Of Crutched Friars, Guildford
- Grid Reference: 499000 149000
- Description: The only authority for the existence of a house of crutched friars at Guildford is Speed, and it was unknown to him when he compiled the list of monasteries for his History of Great Britaine in 1611. In this he enters the priory of St Cross as having belonged to the friars preachers; but in the 2nd edition of 1627, without note or comment, he assigns St Cross to the 'crouched fryars' (probably on account of the name) and finds another house dedicated to St Dominic for the 'preaching fryers' (See HER 1658). Without certain evidence, the existence of a priory of crutched friars at Guildford is tenuous.
