Heslington Hall is a Grade II* listed building, originally constructed in the 16th century and rebuilt in the 1850s. During WWII, the manor house served as the headquarters of part of RAF Bomber Command. It was later converted into the administrative centre of the University of York when it was founded in the 1960s.
The Quiet Place, intended as a place for contemplative pursuits, comprises four areas: an upper room; a lower room; an enclosed garden; and, a lawn area with yews. The rooms are located in the hall’s gazebo.

Inner Horizons
By Cat Scott
What would it sound and feel like to be inside of a bubble?
Step inside a deceptive, inner landscape of a scale that we, as humans, cannot usually physically experience ourselves. From our first experiences submerged in the womb, to the depths of the abyss and outer space – is the universe one big bubble?

Selby Abbey dates back to the founding of a monastery in 1069 by French monk Benedict of Auxerre, apparently prompted by St Germain in a vision. Most of the monastery was destroyed in the 16th century in Henry VIII’s Dissolution but the Abbey church survived. The abbey was restored in the 1870s and the 1890s following damage sustained due to subsidence in the 17th century. In 1906 a fire gutted the interior. Various alterations were made during the 20th century and a further major restoration was carried out in 2002.
