The Ark is a historic building on Kirkgate in Tadcaster, a town in North Yorkshire, England.
[1] A tradition claims that the Pilgrim Fathers met at the building, to plan their voyage to the Americas.
They rebuilt part of the structure, using original timbers, and added a small extension on its left-hand side.
The building is timber-framed over a Magnesian Limestone and brick base, and the roof is covered in pantiles.
[3][1] There is a replica of the building in Berlin Center, Ohio, which serves as an animal sanctuary.
