Galmanho

Galmanho was the name give to a settlement just outside York’s walls in the Marygate area. Earl Siward of Northumbria, who founded the nearby church dedicated to St Olaf, is recorded in the Anglo-Saxon chronicle as being buried in the same minster church, ‘lying at Galmanho.’ The settlement’s name lives on in Galmanhoe Lane at the top of Marygate.
