It supposedly was a blacksmith's house who had the shop on the ground floor and his quarters upstairs.

@oliver5976 The whole street is owned by Wells Cathedral, which is located opposite it. In fact there is a beautiful medieval bridge over the road that runs beside the cathedral, connecting Vicars’ Close directly into the cathedral.

Not the easiest of houses to live in or maintain though. Often damp, (no damp course) cold (very little insulation allowed other than temporarily putting up plaster board inside with a gap for insulating materials, which would have to be removed when the property is sold,and makes the small rooms even smaller than they already are) Windows are small, stone takes a long time to heat up(though once heated it retains fairly well). Materials for maintenance must match those originally used, slate/quary tiles for the roof etc. (Expensive, often difficult to obtain, needs builders with experience to install) A little easier to replace the original lead pipe work nowadays, as you don't replace, you use 'Polypipe' and insert this plastic pipe within the original pipes (just hoping it's not too tight, narrow and 'bendy' so the Polypipe won't go in 😑) My nephew is a builder ('chippy'/carpenter), and has dozens of friends in the trade, he has worked on grade 1 listed buildings.

Thank you, I'd not heard of it, must be an absolute privilege to live there. Living history which must be preserved at all costs.

There is something charming and fantastic about these and the fact that they have been preserved. This isn't possible in America, then again these were built long before America.

That street is absolutely beautiful. I grew up in Knaresborough, so down the road from York. We are blessed with some amazing streets like this.

Thank you! I taught British literature to high school students, and have heard of these things, but have never been fortunate enough to see them.

I lived on Sadler's Street as a kid and our house faced onto Cathedral Green. You can actually use the close as a shortcut to the Liberty, if you so feel inclined. Several School friends lived there. Vicars close looks great in the snow.
