More about this scene
This view looks south-east. This is the only one of the four bars that has retained its barbican, or outer gateway. In 1793 John Browne, historian and artist of the Minster, was born in the timber-framed house on the inner side of the bar; it was still used as living accommodation up until 1959.

John Browne was an artist and author of York Minster. ...see more
