York - Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate
Holy Trinity, Micklegate, York.
Grade l listed.
North Door entrance.
A church has stood on this site for over 900 years. The first was reduced to rubble during the Norman Conquest of 1066. French monks rebuilt the church and established a Benedictine priory here in 1098. Disaster struck when a fire that raged through York in 1137 damaged the church. The priory lost its lands and buildings during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, but was allowed to continue as a parish church. The stocks from the churchyard dating from the 18th century have been restored and are now on display as part of the Monks of Micklegate exhibition inside the church. A replica of the stocks can be seen as you enter the churchyard.
