Purey Cust Lodge, attached walls and gateways

About

Purey-Cust Lodge is a historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. Now Grade II listed, it dates to 1845. Prior to this date, it was the site of York Minster Stoneyard.

The building is named for Arthur Purey-Cust, who served as Dean of York from 1880 to 1916. Its southern wall makes up part of the western end of Precentor's Court, a mediaeval cul-de-sac. At the eastern end of that street is the gate to and from the former gardens of the lodge.

The gate used to open onto the minster stoneyard, in the shadow of York Minster.
