ROW NINETY ONE AND A HALF[1]

Greyfriars Row[2]        

Cloisters Row

Row 91 and a half map

Of the rows most treasured  by  the  artist and photographer, this  short row  is unequalled.    At the west end stands  the  cloisters  of  the  greyfriars, and these are well worth a visit. The Franciscan monks settled in  Yarmouth  in  the  13th.C.   The  elaborate ceiling  needed in 1927   immediate  attention, and  a  fund  was   started  for the necessary renovations, long  overdue.  As an attraction the cloisters were a valuable asset to the town.*2 Unfortunately they are now rather inaccessible behind  high iron railings.

Row ninety‑one and a half  was  no  thoroughfare,  and led  from   Middlegate  Street  to a cottage built over the east cloister  of  the  church  of  the Greyfriars.*1  A portion of this in a very perfect state formed the entrance to the house  as  seen  in  the  picture engraved on page 128, vol.II, Palmers  Perlustration.  

The 1936 row survey says    Greyfriars Cloister. This has an overhanging  storey on its south side, and leads to  the  old  Franciscan  Church.  The  tenements in the row should be made stores, and closed to habitation.
