Time to continue round the corner from Chapter House Street after having returned from SE Asia and recovered from my illness I have found the enthusiasm to continue this blog.
Continuing along the cobbled street you turn the corner from Chapter House Street into the strangely named street Ogleforth. I have heard of two possible origins of the street name. One is that it is Scandinavian in origing and means "the ford haunted by an owl" the other that it derives from somebody named "Ugel". Whatever the origin Ogleforth is an interesting street and well worth having a look at. It is also the home of York Archaeological Trust.
