"High on the isthmus between the old town and castle, St Mary’s is a Grade I listed church, first erected in the 12th century. That building was mostly lost in Civil War in the 17th century, and was rebuilt at the end of the 1600s. Out in the sprawling graveyard you can find the ruins of the old west towers, which give a sense of how much larger the Medieval church used to be."

"King’s Manor is a stately house in York city centre that has played host to some of British history’s most important visitors.

The Tudor king himself stayed there, giving rise to its current name."
