York Crown Court, Grade I listed courthouse in York, England
This stone courthouse features a neoclassical design with thirteen bays, Ionic columns, and a central tetrastyle portico facing the castle courtyard.
The current building, completed in 1777, replaced a dilapidated Grand Jury House from 1668 and was designed by architect John Carr for city assizes.
The courthouse maintains two large courtrooms where significant criminal cases, including trials by jury and appeals, shape the judicial system of northern England.
The court operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering counter services, video conferencing facilities, and wireless internet access.
The circular grassed area in front of the courthouse earned the name 'Eye of the Ridings' due to its central position in York Castle grounds.
