Explore some of the distinctive architectural and conservation heritage of our city, using Herbert House as a case study.
Learn more about Herbert House, Pavement, as archaeologists Kate Giles and Dav Smith use the remarkable building as a case study to explore some of the distinctive architectural and conservation heritage of the city. They will also examine how Herbert House exemplifies the opportunities and challenges faced by those looking after the city's architectural heritage today.
The building is one of the few surviving examples of York's early modern townhouses and Kate and Dav will highlight the need for a greater understanding of this period of the city's architectural history, not least the King's Manor and the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall itself. Discover how, through its later adaptation and restoration, Herbert House exemplifies early conservation approaches by pioneering figures such as Francis Yorke, Walter Brierley, and Cuthbert Morrell.
Join Kate and Dav and find out how understanding Herbert House’s layers of history through detailed archaeological and historical research is enabling York Conservation Trust to make better informed decisions about its future. They will highlight the significance of the University of York's distinctive approach of connecting building recording, research and conservation with partnership working, as pioneered by leading scholars such as Jane Grenville.
