The Barley Hall in York is a real hidden gem. Such a stunning medieval townhouse that until the 1980s, remained undiscovered. Only when the then derelict office block started to be dismantled did the original features uncovered revealing a grand exposed timber frame and history within. Since the discovery the building has been beautifully restored to its former glory and today holds a significant part of York's medieval History.
It was also home to the mayor of York, Alderman William Snawsell in the fifteenth century of whom history life is a predominant feature of the hall.
Although Barley Hall York is open throughout the year, it is advisable to check the official website to get up to date news on the opening hours before travelling. It should also be noted that those with mobility difficulties should call the venue as some of the building is quite restrictive.
