Visitor update: Barley Hall is now open, and we are making sure that everyone enjoys a safe visit, while still experiencing everything that we have to offer. Find out more here. Please pre-book online!
Barley Hall is a stunning medieval townhouse, once home to the Priors of Nostell and a Lord Mayor of York. Until the 1980s the house was hidden under the relatively modern façade of a derelict office block. Only when the building was going to be destroyed was the amazing medieval building discovered and its history revealed.
The building has now been lovingly restored to its original splendour with stunning high ceilings, beautiful exposed timber frames, and possibly the only horn window in England. It has been decorated to replicate what it would have looked like as the Snawsell home around 1483 and boasts a magnificent Great Hall. Visitors to Barley Hall will find themselves immersed in medieval England.
Plus, discover our Magic & Mystery exhibition, which explores the fine line between science, religion and magic in medieval society.
Please note that Barley Hall is an historic building and features uneven floors, narrow stairs and steps between rooms. Facilities such as accessible toilets and a lift are unavailable due to the nature of the building.
