 Oldest surviving row of houses in York |
Goodramgate York YO1 7LF United Kingdom +44 1904 62 1756 |
Lady Row is situated on Goodramgate and consists of a row of picturesque cottages built by a wealthy merchant, Thomas Langtoft, in 1316. The cottages are said to be the oldest surviving row of houses in York and they certainly look as much, not a single straight line to be seen. Thomas Langtoft used the money he received in rent from the cottages, to pay for the services of a chantry priest of the Virgin Mary in the Church of Holy Trinity. You can see them whilst you shop in Goodramgate, so pretty to look at, reminiscent of a picture on a chocolate box. Review © 2007, Wcities |

York has four surviving guildhalls and The Merchant Taylors' Hall is one of them. It was originally built in the 14th century and was founded by a religious guild which developed into a merchants' company in the 15th century and has been used by the Company of Merchant Taylors ever since. The main hall is 60 ft by 30 ft and is 30 ft high, its roof is medieval but the exterior of the building is 17th century. The head of Queen Anne is featured in the south wall window.

 Wicked Uncle? |
Monk Bar York YO1 7LQ United Kingdom +44 1904 63 4191 http://www.richardiiimuseum.co... |
Monk Bar was built in the 14th century and is one of four medieval gatehouses forming part of the city wall surrounding York. In 1992 Monk Bar was converted into the Richard III Museum, which focuses on a modern day imaginary trial of Richard III as the possible murderer of the two Princes in the Tower. The visitor is left to decide whether King Richard is guilty, or innocent. There are three rooms to view; the third one is at the top of a very steep narrow flight of stone steps. Two tiny cells [one en-suite!!] which you are invited to enter, make you realise just how awful it must have been to be held captive there. Admission: adults £2.50, students & seniors £1.25, children (under 16) go free if accompanied by an adult. Review © 2007, Wcities |
