When York Council found this building they decided to fill it with furniture that was made as the Tudors would have made it so the furniture is new but has been made in an authentic Tudor manner and watching an age over the years has been interesting particularly the horn window which went first put there was completely opaque and has now become more translucent I have taken children at about the age of nine who have thoroughly enjoyed this it links into some school work

Barley Hall is a stunning medieval town house, once home to the Priors of Nostell and a Lord Mayor of York. Until the 1980s the building was hidden under the relatively modern facade, only when it was going to be destroyed was the amazing medieval structure discovered and its rich history uncovered.

Small, but massively interesting. Excellent for children.

Barley Hall is a stunning medieval house, once home to the Mayor of York. The building has been lovingly restored to its original splendour with its high ceilings, beautiful exposed timber frames, and possibly the only horn window in England. Visitors to Barley Hall can make themselves at home and sit on the chairs and handle the objects and experience what it would have been like to live in Medieval England.
