As its name suggests, the Treasurer’s House was once home to the Treasurer of York Minster and the building lies within the Minster’s shadow. Its foundations were built on Roman ruins which added substance to the famous ghost story from 1953 when a plumber witnessed the ghosts of Roman soldiers from their knees upwards. The soldiers were reputedly from the 9th Legion which allegedly disappeared close to York. The building is owned by the National Trust and possesses beautiful gardens in which visitors are free to sit and enjoy.
