This building next to the Minster stoneyard used to be the York College for Girls but was taken over by the Minster School who also have a smaller building over the road. Boys attending the school were for many years very conspicuous by the red caps that they wore. Not sure if they still wear red caps, I haven't noticed lately. At one time the Minster School was always referred to as the Minster Song School but song seems to have dropped out of the title, if it was ever really there.
