Having walked the York City Walls from Bootham Bar, enjoying great views of York Minster, Dean’s Park, and Gray’s Court, we will descend back to street level at Monk Bar.
On Chapter House Street, in the shadow of York Minster, we will stop outside the Treasurer’s House to tell the extraordinary and tragic tale of York’s demon stargazer.
