The origin of Blackfriars Hall is in the Priory, a religious house re-founded in 1921, which inherited the identity of the medieval priory of the same name (1221 – 1538).  The Priory continues today as a community of around 24 Dominican friars.  Blackfriars Hall grew out of the Priory’s house of studies (Studium), becoming a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford in 1994.
