Holy Trinity's role as a parish church hides its extraordinary importance in the history of monasticism in York and in the North of England. In 1089 the Benedictines from Marmoutier in Normandy, known in York as the 'Alien Benedictines', created a priory here, on the site of a pre-Conquest church, which itself was possibly the successor of Alcuin of York's great Saxon church, the Alma Sophia.
Visit our Monks of Micklegate exhibition in the church, using graphics, interactives, artifacts, games, study materials and translations, tells the fascinating story of monasticism and its vital contributions to religion, education, scholarship, the arts, medicine and hospitality.
