Our york city walk guide reommended us to take a look at the ancient box pews in this church which are very old and interesting. There's a guide stationed there ready for your questions as well as information cards with photographs and detailed notes. These cards/leaflets are also in several languages, including Chinese. It was half an hour well spent

In my opinion this little treasure that appears in the Doomsday Book, nestling off Goodramgate and hidden from view, is peerless amongst ecclesiastical buildings in York, save for York Minster itself. It has no electric lights and so does not open at night apart from Christmas, when it is wonderfully lit by candlelight for carol services. The box pews are... More

Like many people we stumbled upon this church by accident. It's tucked away down an alley off Goodramgate and on the day we visited there was a falconer in the garden with birds of prey on display. The garden is like a little haven. The church no longer has services but the atmosphere of the past can be felt on... More

A gorgeous and quite ancient little church worth stopping in. Not a huge attraction, and it will only take fifteen or twenty minutes to look around, but I liked it (even if it was freezing!)

Well worth a visit. Entrance through a narrow passage on Goodramgate and you go back to the 17th century - and before. It has not been in use as a church for many years but is lovingly cared for. The complete box pews and very uneven stone flags escaped the Victorian restorers. Some fine 15th century windows.

Tucked behind the City's oldest occupied houses (Lady Row) in Goodramgate this church is set in it's own grassy yard. It is a real oasis from the busy streets, a historical gem with saddleback roof and box pews. There are some steps inside and a couple of guides to answer questions about this fascinating building which does seem stuck in... More

I'm told a cold, overcast day does not make for ideal conditions in which to visit Holy Trinity, but what can one do when you're on the February mid-term break? The church has what I'd characterize as a picturesque location. The area is a bit of a garden oasis in the midst of the city build up around it and... More

Beautiful gem of a church, so unusual. Tucked away, so you need to look out for it, but well worth a visit

This is one church that you feel is frozen in time. A winding path, lined by old headstones from an ancient cemetery, takes you to this simple historic church. A simple interior with box pews that provided prior churchgoers with some privacy is graced by some basic but lovely stained glass windows and a floor that seems smoothed by thousands... More
