Chapter House Street is a street in the city centre of York, England, connecting Ogleforth and Minster Yard.
History
The street follows the route of the via decumana of Roman
Monk Bar was constructed and the access through the York city walls stopped up. The road was then regarded as part of Ogleforth. It lay within the walls of the Minster Close, constructed in the 13th century.[1][2][3]
The parsonage of St John-del-Pyke lay on the street, and after that church closed, in 1553, it became used by the incumbents of
Holy Trinity, Goodramgate. The road was widened in 1825, and in 1838 the name "Chapter House Street" was first recorded.[3][1]
The
Royal Commission on Historic Monuments described the street as "a short cobbled lane, bounded by the walls and entrance of the Treasurer's House and small houses, and terminated visually by the Minster choir and chapter house".[3]
Layout and architecture
The street runs north-east, from the junction of
grade I listed hotel with 12th-century origins; and 8 Chapter House Street, with Mediaeval origins but largely rebuilt in the 1730s. On the south-eastern side are the 15th-century 1 Chapter House Street; Mediaeval 3 Chapter House Street; and the 16th-century 5 Chapter House Street, part of a building mostly on Ogleforth.[1]
