Lonely Planet review for Merchant Adventurers' Hall
Built between 1357 and 1361, the outstanding Merchant Adventurers' Hall is one of the most handsome timber-framed buildings in Europe. This stunning building testifies to the power of the medieval guilds, which controlled all foreign trade into and out of York until 1830 - a handy little monopoly.
