Micklegate House

Micklegate House is a Grade I listed building in York, a city in England. The house lies on Micklegate, in the city centre. It was completed by 1752, as a town house for John Bourchier of Beningbrough Hall. It is often said to have been designed by John Carr, a local architect, as it is similar to other designs by him, although there is no firm evidence of this attribution. Bourchier died in 1759, and the house passed to his wife. When she died, in 1796, it was leased to James Walker, then to Joshua Crompton, who bought the freehold in 1815 and whose descendants lived in the property until 1896. The house was then used as business premises, and many of the fittings were sold, most of the best being moved to Treasurer's House. The house is the largest on the street, three stories high and seven bays wide. The front is of red brick, with stone dressings, and the rear of pink brick. Some original sash windows survive, as do a fireplace and bread oven on the second floor. The hall retains rich decoration and a grand staircase to the first floor, and the dining room and library on the ground floor also retain some original fittings. The house was listed in 1954, along with its railings and lamp brackets. The house was used by the University of York. In the 1960s it housed the Department of Mathematics, while from 1978-1996 it housed the Department of Archaeology before it moved to King's Manor. In 2015, it was converted into the Safestay hostel.

Garforth House

Garforth House is a grade I listed building in York, England. The house lies at 54 Micklegate, in the city centre. The site was occupied by two tenements in early-18th century, one of which was purchased by William Garforth, and the other by his nephew, Edmund Garforth. In the 1750s, they cleared the site for the construction of Garforth House, which is generally believed to have been designed by John Carr of York. It was completed around 1757, and Edmund lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, but they soon began letting it out. In 1831, it was sold to Barnard Hague. In 1912, St Margaret's Independent Grammar School for Girls, a small religious school, moved into the building. It remained at the site until it closed, in 1968, after which the building was used as offices. In 2010, it was sold and reconverted to residential use. The house is of three stories, and its brick front was originally symmetrical, although the door on the right of the ground floor was later replaced by a window. It has stone quoins, and in its pediment is an oculus window. Its original lamp brackets survive, while balconies were added to the second-floor windows in the 19th century. The rear is of a lighter brick, and has an original drainpipe. Inside, the three floors above ground have richly decorated rooms utilising marble, many of which had original fireplaces. It has an unusual plan for the period, based on an "H" shape, with the main staircase at the rear, and a large saloon on the first floor overlooking the garden. References

Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate, York

Holy Trinity Church, on Goodramgate in York, is a Grade I listed former parish church in the Church of England in York and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History The church dates from the 12th century. The south east chapel is 13th century, and the south aisle and south arcade date from the 14th century. The original construction is of limestone, with later repairs and additions in brick. The church contains memorials to a number of notable York residents. It was enlarged in 1823 when the north side was rebuilt. The south porch was added in 1849. The condition of the building was poor by 1882 and regular worship was suspended for over 50 years until 1937 when restoration work was completed. The oak rafters were renewed and the roof was restored. The pier supporting the arches between the nave and north aisle were underpinned with concrete, and the decaying stonework on the south aisle walls was renewed. Parish status The church was declared redundant on 29 June 1971, and was vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust on 7 November 1972. A restoration was carried out between 1973 and 1974. Memorials Frances Graham (d. 1721) James Robert Fryer (d. 1840) The Revd James Dallin (d. 1838) Joseph Smith (d. 1827) Joseph Buckle (d. 1818) Plaque In 2018, a blue plaque was unveiled outside of the church to mark the occasion when Anne Lister and her partner, Ann Walker, took Holy Communion together at the church at Easter 1834 as an affirmation of their lesbian relationship, thereafter considering themselves married; it was York's first LGBT history plaque. The first plaque had an upside down rainbow edging and read "Gender-nonconforming entrepreneur. Celebrated marital commitment, without legal recognition, to Ann Walker in this church. Easter, 1834". The wording was criticised for not mentioning Lister's sexuality, and in 2019 it was replaced with a similar rainbow plaque with the wording "Anne Lister 1791–1840 of Shibden Hall, Halifax / Lesbian and Diarist; took sacrament here to seal her union with Ann Walker / Easter 1834". The ceremony was recreated on location in the church for the series finale of the 2019 BBC dramatisation of the life of Anne Lister, Gentleman Jack starring Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle as Lister and Walker respectively.

Lady Row

Lady Row, also known as Our Lady's Row, is a mediaeval Grade I listed building on Goodramgate in York, England. Historic England describe the structure as "some of the earliest urban vernacular building surviving in England". History The building was commissioned in 1316 as a terrace of tenements, to be let out to provide an income for a chantry priest at Holy Trinity, Goodramgate. The eleven-bay building was quickly constructed, and is usually dated as having been completed in 1317. Initially, it was divided into nine or ten tenements, each occupying both floors and one or more of the bays. By the 16th century, many of the tenements had been knocked together, and the building consisted of three cottages and a single tenement. Originally, an additional house was built in the churchyard of Holy Trinity, to house the chantry priest. The southernmost two bays had been demolished by the mid-18th century, when an archway to access the churchyard was built in their place. Around 1784, the second and third bays from the north end were rebuilt in brick as two three-storey houses. The two southernmost remaining bays housed a pub from 1796 to 1819, named The Hawk's Crest. In 1827, it was proposed to demolish the remainder of the building, to extend the churchyard, but ultimately only the separate chantry priest's house was demolished. Following this reprieve, the northernmost bay was also heightened to three storeys and extended to block a former entrance to the churchyard. Architecture The facade of the building has been repeatedly altered, and the ground floor now consists of shop fronts, while the windows on the upper floor are 18th-century and later. The basic wooden frame and jettying of the upper floor survive, and some of the internal walls may also be original. An attic floor was inserted in about the 17th-century, and the pantiled roof is of unknown date. Gallery References
41–45 Goodramgate

41–45 Goodramgate is a grade I listed building in the city centre of York, in England. Most of the building was constructed in 1500: a three-storey, five-bay range facing onto the east side Goodramgate, and a single-storey hall behind its northern part. It probably originated as the house of a wealthy citizen, with a shop at the front. Early in the 1600s, a further two-storey building was constructed south of the single-storey range about six feet away from it, and the gap between the two was closed up soon after. A passageway ran back-to-front through the central part of the building. By 1800, the front of the building had been plastered over, and shop windows had been installed in the ground floor, with leaded lights in the windows above. These were replaced by sash windows by the end of the century. Both 41 and 43 Goodramgate were refronted in brick during the 1800s. The property was bought by Cuthbert Morrell in the 1920s, and in 1929, Walter Brierley and Harvey Rutherford restored the building. They removed the external plaster to reveal the timber framing, all internal partitions erected over the past few centuries were removed, and the passageway was closed off. The building now forms three properties. 41 Goodramgate is of four stories, its attic having been converted into an extra floor, while 43 Goodramgate is the same height but of only three stories, its floor heights having been altered. 45 Goodramgate is the largest property, incorporating both the buildings to the rear. It is the only one to retain its jettied front. Although there are windows in the roof, added in 1929, it remains of three stories, the roof windows providing extra illumination for the second floor. The timber framing inside is largely intact, although heavily restored. Few other original fixtures remain although there is a cornice and simple fireplace on the first floor. 45 Goodramgate was listed in 1954, as an example of a rare building type, with few examples known nationally, while 41 and 43 Goodramgate were added to the listing in 1971. In 1957, 45 Goodramgate was donated to the York Civic Trust, who lease it out for use as a restaurant. 41 and 43 Goodramgate are a separate cafe and shop. References

St Mary's Church, Lutterworth

St Mary's Church is the ancient parish church of the town of Lutterworth, Leicestershire. It is a Grade I listed building and is a member of the Major Churches Network History The church building is 13th-century, with 14th- and 15th-century alterations. The church contains some surviving 15th-century wall paintings with the Lutterworth Doom appearing over the chancel arch and a depiction of the Three Living and the Three dead. The spire on the church was blown down in 1703 and rebuilt in 1761. Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the building in 1866–1869. The Irish statesman Robert le Poer was parish priest here c.1318. Wycliffe The translator John Wycliffe was rector of the church between 1374 and 1384. It was in the Lutterworth rectory that he is traditionally believed to have produced the first translation of the Bible from Latin into English (see Wycliffe's Bible). His translation of the Bible into English started the Lollard movement. The Lutterworth Wall Paintings In spite of the significance of the church for early English Protestantism the church is home to a remarkable set of surviving pre-reformation murals. Painted during the 15th century (1400s) they consist of a large Doom over the chancel arch, with figures rising out of tombs and large seated Christ in majesty surrounded by angels, and a remarkably fine example of the Three Living and the Three Dead around the north aisle door. The paintings were uncovered and restored by Eve Baker in the 1980s.

York Crown Court

York Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at York Castle in York, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History Originally the assizes for the City of York were held in York Guildhall in St Martins Courtyard, Coney Street. However, judicial matters moved to York Castle when a Grand Jury House was built there in 1668 and supplemented by a Sessions House of 1675. However, by the mid 18th century, the Grand Jury House had become dilapidated and it was decided to demolish it and to erect a new building on the same site. The new building was commissioned to serve as the assizes courts for the City of York. It was designed by John Carr in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1777. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of thirteen bays, with single-storey end bays which were slightly recessed: it faced onto the castle courtyard, which was grassed over at that time to form a circle, which became known as the "Eye of the Ridings". The central section featured a tetrastyle portico in antis formed by full-height Ionic order columns supporting an entablature and a modillioned pediment. The wings of four bays each were fenestrated by round headed sash windows on the ground floor and by small square windows on the first floor. The outer bays of the wings also featured full-height Ionic order columns in antis supporting an entablature. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate two large courtrooms, one to the left and one to the right. Notable cases in the 19th century included the trial and conviction, in November 1882, of Mary Fitzpatrick for the murder of a glass blower, James Richardson. Following the implementation of the Courts Act 1971, the former assizes courthouse was re-designated York Crown Court, and an extensive programme of refurbishment was completed in 1991. In 2010, the court was the venue for the trial and conviction of the footballers, Craig Nelthorpe and Michael Rankine for affray following a disturbance in the city centre. A climactic scene for the television series Death Comes to Pemberley was filmed on a purpose-built scaffold outside the building in 2013.

It has hosted exhibitions by Susan Stockwell, Susan Aldworth, and the Aesthetica Art Prize. In 2016 there were 6,906 visitors to exhibitions in the church. References
York Debtor's Prison

York Debtor's Prison is a former debtor's prison and Grade I Listed building located in York, North Yorkshire. Since 1952 it has been part of the York Castle Museum. History The Debtor's Prison was originally built as the County Gaol in 1701–05 due to an act of Parliament, the Insolvent Debtors Relief Act 1702 (1 Ann. c. 19). It is located to the south of Clifford's Tower, within the former castle bailey. It is a three-storey building with a central range and clock turret flanked by projecting wings built with Tadcaster limestone and brick walls, and a lead and slate roof. Some of the original building stone came from ruined parts of Clifford's Tower and King's Manor. It was extended between 1824 and 1835. Prisoners The prison's most notable inhabitant was Dick Turpin, who was incarcerated in the 1730s before his trial at the York assizes. His cell forms part of the exhibition in the current museum. Executions The castle area became the regular place of executions in York in the early 1800s, replacing the Tyburn on the Knavesmire. The new gallows were completed on 8 March 1801 at a cost of £10 and 15 shillings and were first used for the execution of a cattle thief, Samuel Lundy, on 11 April 1801. Condemned criminals were hanged in this space, known as 'the Drop', between the Assize Courts and the bailey wall (immediately adjacent to the Debtor's Prison) until 1868. From 1868 to 1896 executions took place inside the prison walls at the north end of the Female prison. A total of 153 men and 7 women were hanged in the Castle precincts between April 1801 and December 1896. Museum The Debtor's Prison was added to the York Castle Museum in 1952. The building was partially restored in 1966. The Debtor's Prison was joined to the Female Prison, through the addition of a link building connecting the two, in 1969. An Edwardian Street, called Half Moon Court, was constructed in the eastern end of the building in 1963. By 1981 the cells in the basement of the Debtor's Prison were used to recreate Victorian and Edwardian workshops, including a jet workshop, a comb maker, a wheelwright, and a pipe-maker. It also included a 'condemned cell' where, by tradition, Dick Turpin was held before his execution in 1739. Notes References External links York Castle prison records at the National Archives
Bell Hall

Bell Hall is a grade I listed building, in Naburn, in the rural southern part of the city of York, in England. The house was built in 1680 for John Hewley, in pink-orange brick, with stone dressings, a rendered basement, and a slate roof. As built, it was rectangular in plan, approximately 60 by 45 feet, with entrances on the south and west fronts, each of which was symmetrical. The architect is not known with certainty, but is suggested by Historic England to be John Etty, father of William Etty. The ground floor contained a substantial entrance hall, a parlour, a dining room and a library; the first floor a drawing room and several sitting rooms; and the basement accommodation for servants and a kitchen. In about 1717, a kitchen wing was added on the eastern side. Both the main and rear staircases survive from the original build, and alterations have been relatively minor, such as the replacement of entrance doors and external steps in the 19th century, and 20th century sundials added above each entrance. Original panelling and fireplaces survive in most rooms. In the entrance hall is a Jacobean overmantel, brought from Deighton Hall, and a side room has an overmantel brought in about 1750 from a house on St Saviourgate in York. The old drawing room has several painted wooden panels, probably of French or Flemish origin. The house was listed at grade I in 1952. References External links Official website
St Giles' Church, Skelton

St Giles' Church is the parish church of Skelton, a village in the rural northern part of the City of York. The church lies at the northern end of the village green. Records show that it was completed in or just before 1247, and the entire church is in the style of that period. The Victoria County History of the North Riding of Yorkshire states that "as an example of early 13th century work it is unequalled by any other parish church in the county". Local tradition maintains that the church was built with the stones that remained after the building of the south transept of York Minster, in 1227. Historic England states that the church was probably constructed by the same masons as that transept. The church is thus sometimes called "Little St Peter's". The following extract from Archbishop Grey's roll shows that its building took place previous to the year 1247: "Confirmation of a donation to the chapel of Skelton. To all, etc. The donation which our beloved son in Christ, Master E. Hagitur, treasurer of York, made to John de l'Edes, clerk of the chapel of Skelton, considering it to be agreeable and satisfactory to us, we confirm the same by our Pontifical authority, desiring the said treasurer, and his successors, to pay annually the sum of 20d. to this parson. In witness whereof, &c., &c. Dated at Thorp, on the 6th day of the Ides of December, A.D. 1247." The church formerly had a small steeple at its west end, which housed two bells, but this was removed in the 18th century. The church was restored between 1810 and 1818 by Henry Graham, who heavily restored the porch as an exact replica of the original design. The church was and again restored in 1863 by Ewan Christian. Despite two restoration schemes, the church has stood "virtually unaltered" since it was built, and is claimed to be "now one of only two complete Early English churches in the country." It is mentioned by Nikolaus Pevsner in his 1966 The Buildings of England: Yorkshire North Riding, by John Betjeman in his 1958 English Parish Churches and by Simon Jenkins in his 1999 England's Thousand Best Churches. Long dedicated to All Saints, it is now dedicated to Saint Giles. In 1986, it was grade I listed. The church is small, measuring 44 feet (13 m) by 32.5 feet (9.9 m). The nave is two bays long, and the chancel a single bay, separated by a chancel arch. There are north and south aisles running the full length of the church. The east window is of three lancets, with a deeply carved surround, while the main west window is a single large lancet. In both aisles are an aumbry and piscina and original windows; the west window of the north aisle has some ancient stained glass. The whole building is covered by a single, pitched, roof. The font is of similar date to the church. There is a worn tablet in the south aisle commemorating Robert and Anne Lovell, who both died in 1421. Other memorials are to Tomlinson Bunting, who died in 1768, and to Joseph and Sarah Hotham, erected in 1791. The register starts in 1538. References External links Official website
