City of YORK SCENES * York Area Index * Bootham Bar (picture below), leading into Petergate, has been a gateway for 2000 years, and is the site of the Porta Principalis Dextra or North Western Gate of the Roman Fortress of which the foundations, rebuilt in AD 300 lie just below ground level. The earliest visible parts of this important medieval gate date from the 11th and 12th centuries. The walls between Bootham Bar and Monkbar enclose an area of the city called Minster Close. In medieval times this had its own laws, courts and prison and was known as the 'Liberty of St Peter'.
It contained the Archbishop's Palace (gone now!)
as well as the Cathedral whose twin west towers can be seen in the
distance and it was governed by the Dean and Chapter of the Minster -
not the city authorities! See 14b. for

The entrance to the medieval house, the King's Manor. The original building from ~1270 was the home of the Abbot of St Mary's Abbey (see page 15) but was substantially rebuilt in the 15th C. After the dissolution of the monasteries Henry VIII in 1539 it was made the official residence of the King's Council of the North. The Council was abolished in 1641 and after a variety uses it has finally become part of the University of York in a beautifully restored state (1963-1964).
An interesting door arch to the right of the Kings Manor visitors entrance.
Above the entrance to the Kings Manor is the coat of arms of Charles 1st who stayed here in 1633 and 1639. His father James 1st (James VI of Scotland) whose monogram appears in the doorway had introduced the unicorn the supporter of Scotland into the royal arms. The lion is the supporter of England and the two beasts hold lances with the flags of St Andrew and St George. The fleur-de-lis of France and the harp of Ireland are also included.
