It accesses BeastFair, via the passageway with the white wall; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/241724

I did some recording work on this many years ago when it was first restored. The building it’s attached to facing Beastfair is even older although you’d be hard pressed to tell from its much later brick facade.

It’s present condition is the result of a long dispute between the owner and tenant (a brewery chain), exacerbated by an Ill-judged intervention by the local council.

A clean benchmark on the church and a faceplate on one of the house's .

I actually found a new (to me) benchmark in York today, which I’d somehow missed despite walking past it almost daily for years. It’s cut into the bricks of a house front at the junction of Farrar Street and Lawrence Street.
