TheArchbishop's Palace apparently constituted a very substantial house to the north of the cathedral. This was of pre 13th-century date, and was noted as 'a fair palace' by Leland. No.27 Kirkgate, a 15th-century timber framed building, has been identified as the probable outer gateway to this palace.
The plaque reads :-
“An entrance to the Archbishop of York's palace in the Middle Ages, this ancient gateway was later used by coaches entering the Unicorn stableyard.”
