About this product
Product Information
Many of the almshouses are now long gone. But Carole's book has a meticulous account of them all: from medieval ones such as St Catherine's Hospital on what is now The Mount, founded outside the city walls as a leper hospital in the early 14th century, to almshouses that still exist to this day, such as the Sir John Hunt Homes in Fulford. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs and - when it comes to older almshouses long-since vanished - paintings and sketches, many in the possession of York Minster or the city art gallery.Product Identifiers
