Micklegate, the great main street of York
south-west of the river, has existed on its present alignment
since before the Conquest and its name is evidenced from the
mid-eighteenth century. Micklegate was of unique importance
since it formed the only way between the Bar and Ouse Bridge
and was thus an integral part of the old main route between
London and Scotland.
No. 41 was acquired by the Trust in 1988.
It is of late eighteenth/early nineteenth century construction
and is adjacent to the church of St. Martin cum Gregory.
