 These properties enabled the friary to obtain about £60 a year in rents, although the disposal of a number of properties in the 1530s reduced this figure to £40 annually by 1538.Cromwell's property was arguably the most significant, as it played an important role both in his own downfall and in the wider fate of the friary.The first house he occupied there lay to the west of the churchyard and immediately north of Cavalcante's tenement and warehouse.
