GHOST STORIES - ST.WILLIAMS COLLEGE & COLLEGE ST. YORK.UK
My final stories from my latest 'History & Haunting's of York' series of short films. Here's 2 stories from one of York's many Haunted streets.
St Williams College - Inside and Out - Throughout the Years
St William’s College was built in 1465 for York Minster’s Chantry Priests, a community of around 24, known as fellows, who received advance payments for praying for the souls of their deceased benefactors. The fellows’ behaviour, which often included drunkenness, had previously brought embarrassment for the Archbishop of York and he deemed they should have their own residence.
The Grade I listed building is named after William Fitzherbert, Archbishop of York (1143 – 1147), who was canonised in 1226. He was the nephew of King Stephen and great-grandson of William the Conqueror.
In Use Since 1465
Henry VI granted a licence for the proposed college in 1457. Due to delays brought about by the Wars of the Roses the building was postponed but was eventually established after Edward IV granted a renewed licence in 1461 with work commencing in 1465.
The timber-framed building is situated in College Street, to which it gave its name, adjacent to the Minster and was in use by the Chantry Priests until the 16th century. From thereon and into the 17th century St William’s was divided up into apartments rented to some of York’s more affluent residents.
From Religious Residents To Slum Dwelling And Everything In Between
Over the centuries the building changed ownership and usage many times; it became home to the Royal Printing Press during the Civil War, a private house – having several changes and rebuilds, windows were added to the street frontage in the 1800s and finally the beautiful medieval building contained nothing more than slum dwellings resulting in its disrepair. In the late 19th century Francis Green, owner of the nearby Treasurer’s House, rescued St William’s from ruin, buying it and subsequently selling it back to the City Council at no personal profit thereby allowing the council to restore it to its former glory around 1902. It then came under the care of the Dean and Chapter of York Minster
One of York’s most atmospheric buildings, St William’s is said to be haunted. One ghost reportedly roams the college for his brother after being wrongly implicated by him in a murder of which his brother was guilty and a 17th-century murderer haunts the corridors.
The building was sympathetically restored in the 1980s; the medieval halls are still available for public use and can be visited. The largest of these is Maclagan Hall, a magnificent timbered space which is thought to have been the medieval Great Hall of the Chantry priests. Equally splendid is the ‘House of Laymen’, a striking chamber under the timber roof. This would have been used by laymen as a meeting room when the Bishops were in assembly.
The ground floor has a thriving restaurant, and the four chambers which are rented out for functions. Today St William’s is a venue for conferences, exhibitions, musical events, banquets and wedding receptions. Its modern-day role is yet another stage in its illustrious history.

York England historic center
The city of York is England's finest example of a medieval town -- so well-preserved that it looks like you took a wrong turn somewhere back in 1335 and got stuck in time when you walk down these narrow lanes line with the ancient original buildings it's like walking through an outdoor museum but it's very much lively and functioning city.
So well-preserved that it's become one of the world’s most interesting historic cities with a rich mix of activities for the visitor.
This town is surrounded by its original medieval high stone walls that protected it from attackers in the past and since then it's protected the town from modernization because you'll find that the old historic area within these walls is looking like it's about 500 years old and many of the buildings in fact are older.
We’re showing highlights of our visit, the very best of York, one of the finest towns in the UK.

Ripon & York St. John Ripon Re-Union Summer Ball 2001
This is the film I made of the Ripon Re-Union Summer Ball on the 9th June 2001. It was the final ball at the Ripon campus of Ripon & York St. John. I've got great memories of that night and it was such a happy-yet-sad way to end our two fantastic years at Ripon. I hope everyone who was there is now leading a happy and healthy life, and I would like to dedicate the video to our beloved Caroline Williams, who looks so full of life here. Miss you all xxx
Bedern Hall York
Medieval Bedern Hall in York is the house of the Vicars Choral of York Minster. Rediscovered and restored Bedern Hall is a symbol of a time gone by when the area of York known as Bedern housed dormitory accommodation for the vicars and Bedern Hall was their refectory. The Guilds of York were instrumental in saving the Hall in the late 1970's and the foundation stone for the newly restored building was laid by Sir Peter Shepherd on 27th October 1983. The Hall is now aptly used catering for events throughout the year. This video was created by Little Genie Media and shows Bedern Hall's qualities as a venue for hire and for functions and is presented by Roger lee of Time and Place catering who runs the Hall for the Guilds of York.
