The city’s cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. There’s much to see, like the 15th-century East Window, which at 24 metres is the largest expanse of Medieval stained glass in the world. Some two million pieces of glass make up York Minster’s 128 stained glass windows, all fitted with elaborate tracery. Maybe the loveliest is t...
Snaking north to south through York’s historic centre, Shambles is a picture perfect Medieval shopping street. The oldest of the corbelled and half-timbered buildings on Shambles date back to the 1300s. From those times up to the 20th century the street was the reserve of butchers, intentionally narrow to help keep meat out of the sunlight, as it w...
York has been ringed by walls since Roman times, and these defences were altered by successive Medieval occupants before gaining their current course and design between the 12th and 14th centuries. The one fragment of the Roman wall still standing is the Multangular Tower in Museum Gardens, raised in the 310s during the rule of Constantine the Grea...
In the 19th century York became the archetypal railway town, partly through the help of railway financier George Hudson in the 1830s. By the turn of the 20th century more than 5,500 people were employed at the headquarters and works of the North Eastern Railway, and the modern York station is a principal stop on the East Coast Main Line. The Nation...
In the 18th century a lot of the remaining stonework from York Castle’s bailey was reused to build a Neoclassical hall, serving as both an administrative building for the county and a prison. The York Castle Museum was founded here in 1938 and recreates hundreds of years of York’s history. In these interactive galleries you can see some of the cell...
The last remaining piece of York Castle is the ruined keep, which stands on a grassy Norman motte (earthwork mound). The previous wooden tower that was built here in the 11th century came to a grim end in 1190, when York’s 150-strong Jewish population was besieged by a mob and opted to commit suicide as the tower burnt down. The stone keep dates to...
Just north of York Minster is the Treasurer’s House, a grand residence where the Minster’s Treasurer would receive important guests. When this post was abolished by Henry VIII the house came into the hands of three successive Archbishops of York. There are building elements from the 11th and 12th centuries, but most of the Treasurer’s House as it a...
A superlative monument from Medieval York, the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall is a timber-framed guildhall that can be traced back 1357. It was founded by a religious fraternity that was eventually granted the status of Merchant Adventurers by Queen Elizabeth, and was a base for the guild to perform its charity, business and spiritual obligations. The ...
A fine Georgian townhouse next to Clifford’s Tower, the Grade I listed Fairfax House is a museum recording how the other half lived in the 18th century. The building dates to the 1740s, and in 1759 was bought as a winter home by 9th Viscount Fairfax of Emley who hired the eminent architect John Carr to remodel the interiors. Over time the building ...
In the 9th and 10th centuries York was controlled by Norse warrior kings known as the Kings of Jórvík (Norse for York), and that heritage is celebrated at this edutainment-style attraction. The Viking Centre was hit by the floods in December 2015 but took the opportunity to modernise, reopening in spring 2017 after a refit. You’ll go on a ride back...
1. Jan. 2022 · With its Roman and Viking history, and hurly-burly medieval core, York is one of England’s must-see cities. Don’t be fooled, though, this isn’t a place stuck in the past. Its walkable center is filled with indie restaurants, quirky shops and inventive drinking dens – a testament to York’s vibrant present-day pulse.
