Turning back time tour

Through past residents, uncover pockets of history at Treasurer's House, York and beyond.

  • Booking advisable
  • Admission applies

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.

Join a tour on Sunday for a different experience, focusing on the lives and legends of some of the past residents of Treasurer’s House. With so many years of history it's impossible to cover all of the lives lived here, but this journey through history will take you to times beyond those represented in the rooms you walk through.
