In front of the Art Gallery in Exhibition Square stands the statue of William Etty a local Victorian artist 1787-1849 . Etty was the son of a baker and showed early promise and was sent by a wealthy uncle to the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1806. Titian was his favourite artist and some echos can be found in his work.

Treasurer's House
Treasurer's House is administered by the National Trust. This is a view from the front garden of the house. The house has a lot of history linked with York Minster and is well worth a visit.

Holy Trinity Church - Micklegate
Holy Trinity in Micklegate is probably one of the most difficult churches in York to photograph as it is surrounded by trees. This is the entrance door which makes a pleasing shot. One of the best views of Holy Trininty is probably from the city walls by the Railway Station.
