What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The Chestnuts. This handsome red-brick and slate house with its large Tuscan style porch on the south front was built circa 1800 on the site of the Bedern, the house for priests from the nearby Minster in medieval times. The coach-house was restored in 2003. Recorded plaque organisation: Howden Civic Society.
The Chestnuts is a notable example of early 19th-century architecture, situated on historically significant land that once housed medieval clergy associated with the nearby York Minster.
