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 appears today is from a Mannerist redesign in the early 17th century, when the curved gables, window pediments and Classical entrance were built.
