Alne Hall

In the medieval period, Alne Hall was the country residence of the treasurers of York Minster.

The living of the village was appropriated to the treasurers in 1131, while the hall was first recorded in 1301, and an inventory of its contents survives from 1508.

The office of treasurer ended during the English Civil War, and the building was sold to the Bethell family.

[3] By 2005, the hall had 28 residents, but it was put forward for closure, due to difficulties in renovating it to contemporary standards.

[5] The staircase hall in the rear range is the oldest surviving part of the building, and is timber framed.
