29 Marygate, Grade II* listed building in Marygate, York, England.
Description
29 Marygate is a three-story brick house with a stone ground floor, slate roof, and bay windows in York, England. The structure contains two rooms on each floor, with basement and attic spaces providing additional functional areas throughout the building.
History
The building was constructed by reusing Magnesian Limestone from the early-14th century St Mary's Abbey that previously occupied this site. Its original purpose later shifted when the structure was adapted for office use.
Culture
The interior preserves original crafted elements including a fireplace on the first floor decorated by Thomas Wolstenholme, which demonstrates the careful design applied during the house's completion. These period details reflect the quality of workmanship typical of buildings from this era.
Practical
The narrow footprint means interior spaces are tightly arranged, so visitors should move carefully when exploring the rooms. Be aware that ceilings are low in some areas and the building sits on uneven ground.
Did you know?
An ancient doorway that once connected to the abbey almonry next door still exists within the house today. Now functioning as storage space, it preserves a physical link to the monastic past of this location.
