Large church which used to be even larger. Not to be confused with Holy Trinity Goodramgate. Very interesting display about monasticism and monasteries in York, free and well worth a short visit. 15th c wooden stocks!

This church is built on the site of a large Benedictine priory that suffered the usual fate of monasteries due to the Reformation. A lot of the church was rebuilt in the 19th Century. The building is Grade I listed. It is a very peaceful place inside away from the noise of Micklegate.

This church was part of a large and important monastery belonging to monks of the Benedictine order. These monks came to York from France in 11th century and built this church. It's also mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The medieval period script, Corpus Christi were kept in the church.
