The Treasurer's House, York, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain
York, Yorkshire.

The Treasurer's House in Chapter House Street owned by the national Trust. This was the first house ever given to the National Trust and is not all that it first seems. It's history spans 2,000 years, from the Roman road in the cellar to the Edwardian servants' quarters in the attics, and thirteen period rooms in between.

This Tudor building is in Jubbergate next to the busy market in the heart of York and now houses Gert and Henry's Restaurant.

The Hospitium, York, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain
York, Yorkshire.

The 14th century Hospitium, in Museum Gardens, was once part of St. Mary's Abbey. It is not known for certain what it was originally used for and the official listing of the building suggests that it was a place for visitors to stay.

It was renovated in the early 20th century and the upper storey was extended with a new roof but it is described as one of the oldest surviving timber-framed structures in York.

Sir Thomas Herbert's House, York, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain
York, Yorkshire.

We saw this Tudor timber-framed building in Pavement near the lower end of Shambles. It is Sir Thomas Herbert's House dating from the early 17th century.

The narrow building to the left is the Golden Fleece supposedly the most haunted inn in York and is mentioned as far back as 1503 so it probably dates from before that.
