The Merchant Adventurers Hall#

Licensed under PD

The Merchant Adventurers Hall Merchant Adventurers Hall, Fossgate, York, Großbritannien und Nordirland was one of the most important buildings in medieval York.

The majority of the structure was built in 1357; its Great Hall was where merchants gathered to conduct business and socialize, while its Undercroft served as a hospital and almshouse for the poor.

The Merchant Adventurers today no longer conduct mercantile activities but are a charitable group. The Hall is the largest timber-framed building in the UK still standing and used for its original purpose.
