pub? In fact St John's church, lower Micklegate, ceased to function as a place of worship in the 1930s and is currently a pub known as The Parish. It was an arts centre for a while, and is still noted as such on some of older street plans. This split-level conversion retains many original features and according to punters it works quite well. I like the brick and timber belfry, if that's what it is.
TBecque: Holy Trinity, yesterday's church, is mainly 15th century. The stained glass was donated in 1470 by one of the vicars.
I'd drink there.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, from church to pub, isn't that going in the opposite direction?! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay....now you have to show us the inside! One of the neatest places I visited in Scotland a couple of years ago was a church turned pub -- very cool!
