It was pouring down when we visited the Treasurer’s
House in York, so I couldn't get a photo of the entrance
to the house. It’s a grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and is
in the centre of York near York Minster.
The first treasurer for the Minster was appointed
in 1091, but the house was almost entirely rebuilt in the early 17th
century. The house was built directly over one of the main Roman roads in Roman
York. One Roman column base can be found in the cellar of the Treasurer’s House,
with one being used in the main hall. The house is reportedly haunted by
several ghosts, including a group of Roman soldiers who have been 'seen' in the
cellar of the property.
