at Treasurer's House

Turning back time is a new tour running every Sunday from the 10 of September to the end of October. The one hour guided journey through the historic rooms focuses on the lives and legends of some of the past residents of Treasurer’s House.

Home to astronomers and politicians, generals and gentry, divided and brought back together over the years, Treasurer’s House has passed through many hands. On occasion the ripples of history made their way into, and occasionally out from, this tucked away corner of York.

The last private owner Frank Green loved history, so much so, that he invested huge sums of money to create the Treasurer’s House we see today. In buying this and other properties in York he helped to preserve elements of York’s past for future generations. In this new tour delve into that past, meeting names you may have heard of, and some you probably haven’t.
