Treasurer's House Garden
Chapter House Street
Guildhall
YO1 7JL

The Treasurer's House is a National Trust property in central York. It has two very different gardens, tucked away in a secluded, peaceful area behind York Minster. The Treasurer's House front garden has plenty of benches from which to admire the simple, architectural design laid out in 1900 by the owner, Frank Green. The terrace walls contain architectural fragments from the many re-buildings of the Minster and visitors to the garden can enjoy full views of the striking Minster Chapter House.

The Organic Herb Garden, to the rear of the 17th century house will delight with its sights and smells.

There are toilets, a tearoom and art gallery in the house. Admission is free to these facilities. See the Treasurer's House website for admission charges to view the house.
