Minster Yard
Minster Yard is a street in the city centre of York, England. It runs along the southern, eastern and northeastern sides of York Minster, for which it is named. History The street may have originated as the courtyard of the headquarters building of Roman Eboracum. In the 8th-century text ''The Earliest Life of Gregory the Great'', a square between the royal palace and York Minster was mentioned, which has been tentatively identified with Minster Yard. However, in the 10th-century, the area was covered by a cemetery associated with the minster. In the late 11th century, York Minster was rebuilt on a new site, and Minster Yard, immediately south of the building, was paved. At the time, it provided a through route. It fell within the Minster Close, which was walled in 1283, and after the Minster was rebuilt and extended in 1365, it became a dead-end, accessed through one of two gates, by Lop Lane and Minster Gates. The deanery of the Minster was built on the street, and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
