Museum Gardens: St Mary's Abbey (WiP 3)
A whole morning working on the west and north nave aisle walls of the ruins of St Mary's Abbey church. These are the biggest surviving chunks of the abbey, dissolved by Henry VIII in the 1530s. Te site was used as a quarry for repairing buildings in York for many years but this ceased in the early 19th century on the founding of York Botanical gardens by the York Philosophical Society.
