St. Budoc's dedication to a Breton saint, first recorded in 1166, implies a post-Conquest foundation, and archaeological evidence suggests a 12th-century date.) The first church, in the modern Castle Street, was destroyed in 1215-16 when the barbican was built, but in 1222-3 a new church was built at the king's expense outside the west gate. In 1265, when much of the parish was occupied by the Blackfriars and the Friars of the Sack, St. Budoc's was unable to support a chaplain, and was granted to the Friars of the Sack as their chapel. Its parish was divided among St. Ebbe's, St. Peter le Bailey, and St. Thomas's.
