Story

Barley Hall is a stunning medieval house, once home to the Priors of Nostell and a Lord Mayor of York.

Until the 1980s the building was hidden under the relatively modern facade of a derelict office block. Only when it was going to be destroyed was the amazing medieval structure discovered and its rich history uncovered.

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 can make themselves at home and sit on the chairs and handle the objects and experience what it would have been like to live in Medieval England.

Lovely historic building, very informative. We came here and did Christmas through the ages and really enjoyed our time here. It's amazing what you can learn from these historic places.

An excellent place. I took the family (grandparents, parents and children, 11 of us) for a Christmas treat and we had a fabulous time. Interesting displays, great activities. Fun for us all. Spent well over an hour there but we had the place to ourselves.

Fascinating in site into the building, the time period and the work to restore and preserve the building. Highly recommended, have been several times.

A very impressive building hidden down a small alleyway off a main shopping street in the centre of york, not had a chance to experience the attraction inside yet but highly recommend this building to anyone interested in history or architecture.

Tucked out of the way you have to look for this place but it's well worth the search, sympathetically restored and shows the history of the building.
