A lovely first week of Advent. I visited the National Trust Property of the Treasurer’s House in the middle of York. An oasis of peace and calm amid a very busy Christmas Market Day.

This picturesque townhouse nestling in the centre of York has many tales to tell, including celebrity parties, workmen who wore slippers to keep the noise down, and a promise by its former owner to return to haunt the building if anything was changed after his death.

“…Promise…to return to haunt the building if anything was changed after his death”

The history of the garden

When Frank Green bought the three houses that he used to create Treasurer’s House, he also changed their gardens to the basic layout you can still see today. The basic principles of his style were the contrast of grass, tree and old stone. When excavating for the sunken lawn, so much old masonry was found, Frank thought it must have been used as a stonemason’s yard for the neighbouring York Minster.

Escape the city – The garden is a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
