History

Barley Hall is a Grade II listed reconstructed medieval townhouse on Coffee Yard in the city of York, England. It was built around 1360 by the monks of Nostell Priory near Wakefield and extended in the 15th century. The property went into a slow decline and by the 20th century was sub-divided and in an increasingly poor physical condition. Bought by the York Archaeological Trust in 1987, it was renamed Barley Hall and restored to form a museum. It is open to the public and hosts exhibitions.
