St Anthony's Hall

St Anthony's Hall in York, England, is a former medieval guildhall and Grade I listed building.

Other uses for the Hall in the late sixteenth century included being an archery practice range and as a theatre for the performance of Mystery plays.

[1] During the reign of Charles I the Hall was used as a military storehouse and served as a hospital following the Battle of Marston Moor.

[1] In 1655 it was remodelled for use as a prison with additional internal walls and exterior brickwork being added to the building.
