St Cuthbert's, Peaseholme Green

This is reckoned to be the oldest church in York after the Minster itself. It is now an administrative centre for St Michael le Belfry, and home to Yo-Yo schools work, for which see the sidebar. For a view of the other side of the church taken from the city walls, go here, and for the main door with a carpet of crocuses, here.

Very close by is a smart Italian restaurant, a lovely public garden, the Tapestry Museum and the Black Swan pub. 

St Cuthbert's from the walls

This is the other side of St Cuthbert's, taken from the city walls at Jewbury. The public gardens below are great for an outdoor lunch. The location also boasts a fine Italian restaurant, the Quilt Museum and an exhibition hall in the old school. Links to follow.

Spring is sprung, even in York.

St Cuthbert's crocuses:  the church lies just within the north city walls on Peaseholm Green, opposite King's Pool. It is the home of YoYo, the York Schools and Youth Trust, which seeks "to support and serve schools in the communication of the Christian faith." For a panoramic view of the exterior, go here.
