Treasurer's House
A historic house next to the Minster, with rooms decorated in 17th to 19th-century styles by a collector, and a cellar with a Roman soldier ghost legend.
The Treasurer's House was once the residence of the Treasurer of York Minster. At the end of the 19th century, industrialist Frank Green bought it and furnished more than a dozen rooms in styles from different periods, with collections of furniture, porcelain, and tapestries. It is now managed by the National Trust. Its most famous story: in 1953, an apprentice claimed to have seen a ghostly procession of Roman legionaries walking through the cellar. Cellar tours must be booked separately. Admission is about £14, and the back garden offers views of the north side of the Minster.
