All Saints Church North Street

Open to the public 10am-4pm daily

Welcome To All Saints North Street

Worship has been offered on this site for the past 1100 years and this church has served York city centre as a place of prayer since the Twelfth Century.

All Saints North Street is a splendid Grade I listed church, home to one of the country’s finest collections of medieval stained glass. In 2024, an extensive restoration project was completed, preserving All Saints’ beauty for future generations and to the greater glory of God. The church is open daily for prayer, worship, and visits from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Above all, All Saints North Street is an active and thriving Church of England parish, firmly rooted in the Catholic Tradition and under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Beverley. We are also affiliated with the Society of S. Wilfrid and S. Hilda. We are a welcoming community, that seeks to make the love of Jesus known throughout York. We warmly invite you to join us in proclaiming the saving love of God in His Son Jesus Christ, and to come to recognise Christ at work in your life here.

Our Parish Mass is celebrated each Sunday at 5:30 pm, with Mass also said on Thursdays at 12:30 pm. Please see the calendar below for details of our daily opening times, public worship, and other events.

Going to Bed in Medieval England – Dr Hollie Morgan Going to Bed in Medieval England – Dr Hollie Morgan June 6, 2026 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm All Saints North Street’s famous Pricke of Conscience window includes an unusual detail: two people lying in bed, while the apocalypse rages around them and Death stands ready. A similar bed can be seen in the Corporal Acts of Mercy window, this time occupied by a sick inhabitant attended by his worried wife. In this interdisciplinary romp around the beds and bed chambers of late-medieval England, historian Hollie Morgan will be looking at real people’s domestic space alongside the stories which inspired, and were inspired by, the way people used and thought about their beds. Come and hear stories of what happened in bed in the Middle Ages, why these beds are in the church window and the curious things people did with their beds in public. This event is presented as part of the York Festival of Ideas. We strongly recommend booking for this event. Attendance is free, though we suggest a donation of £5 to help us cover costs. Donations can be made by cash and card within the church. Please note: Most of the church is wheelchair accessible except for the chancel, high altar, and anchorhold (open for special events only), though some floors are uneven due to the historic nature of the building. • •

Meeting at All Saints North Street, the walk will take around an hour on mostly flat urban terrain. There will be the opportunity for refreshments at All Saints North Street afterwards, where seating and a toilet are available. You are very welcome to explore the church.

This bespectacled man however is not where he should be since a 1670 sketch of the window does not feature him there. Where could he come from then? Come and explore the possible origins of this beloved fragment of medieval glass, but also the special place of eyeglasses in late medieval York. Our speaker, Naoki Matsumoto graduated with an MA in Medieval Studies at the university of York and is now pursuing a PhD at the university of Poitiers in France, on the topic of the representation of people with disabilities in medieval stained glass.
