Barley Hall is a unique medieval townhouse built around 1360 and extended in the 15th century. In the 15th century, the building was home to Alderman William Snawsell, a goldsmith who was also Lord Mayor of York.
As recently as the 1970s, the building was used as a storage unit for a local plumber and its medieval architecture was only rediscovered in 1980 and was saved from demolition and subsequently restored in the late 1980s and is now open to the public as a museum showcasing medieval architecture and showing how people in York lived during the late medieval period.
