Grays Court is possibly the oldest continuously occupied house in the United Kingdom. Dating back in part to 1080 and commissioned by the first Norman Archbishop of York to provide the official residence for the Treasurers of York Minster, the house has an long history.
It stands on the site of a Roman legionary fortress. The Via Decumana, one of the principle streets in the fortress runs from the north east boundary of the garden wall.
