Treasurer's House, York
Overview
Step inside this house of contradictions in the centre of York
Tucked behind York Minster, Treasurer’s House is not as it first appears. In 1897 it was bought by Frank Green, the grandson of a wealthy industrialist, and by 1900 he had transformed it at great speed into an elaborately decorated town house, ready for the visit of Edward VII. Book your place on an exclusive tour to hear about Frank Green’s life and find out how he saved Treasurer’s House and changed it into the grand show home we see today.
The award-winning garden is an oasis of calm, offering unrivalled views of York Minster, making it an ideal place to relax. Head around the corner to the large high street shop for a wide range of National Trust inspired products. Above here in the historic Minster precinct are two holiday cottages, Drapers and Minstergate, for a city centre place to stay with a view.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
