Bedern Hall

Dating from the 14th century, Bedern Hall was the refectory, or dining hall, for York Minster’s choristers. Known as Vicars Choral, there were 36 of them. A bridge, now destroyed, would have connected Bedern to the Minster precinct. Over the years the hall has been a private house, a tenement, a flour store, a coach house and a meat curing room.
