† York City Centre Churches Parish Profile † York City Centre Churches Parish Profile From left to right - All Saints’ Pavement, St Denys, St Martin, St Olave and St Helen This Parish Profile has been written in October 2012 to offer an overview of five churches held in plurality in York city centre. Contact details The Rev’d Jane Nattrass 01904 623559 or 07568 530503 or [email protected] Parish Profile for the five City Centre Churches: All Saints Pavement, St Denys, St Helen and St Martin, Coney Street and St Olave’s Page 1 All Saints Pavement, St Denys, St Helen and St Martin, Coney Street and St Olave’s, the five churches which are held in plurality, are exploring ways to be 'one'. †Introduction The Revd Jane Nattrass is Priest-in-Charge and is supported by the Rev'd David Simpson who is an SSM, three Readers and many retired clergy. The current House for Duty priest the Rev'd Allan Hughes, retired at the end of September 2012. This vacancy and the York Deanery Plans mean that we are in a position to recruit two colleagues. 1. A House for Duty priest who will live in All Saints' Rectory, 52 St Andrewgate and 2. A part-time stipendiary priest to take up a .75 post. This is three-quarter time post with three-quarters of a stipend. No Diocesan house or housing allowance is available. Both colleagues will be expected to support, develop, and bring to fruition the plans for the parishes so that the churches can grow both spiritually and numerically. York City Centre and its Churches All Saints Pavement, St Denys, St Helen, St Martin Coney Street and St Olave are five of the seventeen Christian churches in York city centre. There are also a large number of Christian groups and organisations in the city centre, ranging from Churches Together to the Prayer Breakfast, York Workplace Chaplaincy to Family Matters and the Besom Project. Other Christian organisations also work from the city centre - Riding Lights Theatre Company has a reputation not just in York but throughout the United Kingdom for delivering outstanding theatre performance with strong Christian values. The Spurriergate Centre is a Christian Centre offering good food and drinks in their family friendly cafe as well as providing listening and counselling to those who live and work in York. The incumbent holds all four parishes in plurality. Their churchmanship, patterns of worship, aspirations for the future, constituent congregations and sizes vary considerably. The city centre position of the parishes offers particular opportunities to engage with other Christians in ministering to a mobile, largely non-resident population, and to civic, retail and service enterprises. One of our challenges is to create a pattern of ministry ranging across a wide diversity of emphases and possibilities, while maintaining the pastoral care of a broad spectrum of people. Parish Profile for the five City Centre Churches: All Saints Pavement, St Denys, St Helen and St Martin, Coney Street and St Olave’s Page 1 The Future Plans for the parishes are based on the idea of Growing Together both spiritually and numerically. The following is an extract from our plans which are based on hospitality to respond to our generous God. ‘I came that they might have life and have it abundantly’ (John 10:10) ‘Come and see’ (John 1:39) Christian Hospitality will be used as a means to grow our churches across the City Centre with two focussed tasks for each of the parishes as we build relationships with each other and develop our faith. Alongside this, we will seek ways to add to the life of the City of York and join in where we see God at work. These two ideas are intertwined. There are two aims for each parish which draw on the distinctiveness of the churches and builds on previous work:- • All Saints– to build on links through the BCP with the life of the Guilds and Regiments and to encourage marriage. • St Denys– to build on hospitality to visitors in the tourist trail and in the community and to pay our parish share • St Martins and St Helens to build on peace and reconciliation and God in the surprises • St Olave’s– to build on family life in every sense of the word and to encourage marriage. For all churches:- hospitality will be used as a theme to help us to respond to our generous God. Our churches will become known for a high standard of Christian Hospitality to further the kingdom of God, develop our faith and to grow our churches. We will have in common across the parishes:- 1. Saying YES to individuals and groups who ask for a venue for a service or event and initiating new events, including special services. This means that we will be good neighbours in our communities and across the city centre. 2. Offering refreshment to visiting groups with several congregation members present and refreshing the welcome tourists 3. Saying to others ‘Come and see’ (John 1:39) and calling them by name. Inviting people to special services and events. 4. Ensuring that everyone who uses our churches and halls knows that they are in a space where a warm welcome, friendship and hospitality are very important. 5. Building a team of clergy, readers and laity to work across the parishes. 6. There will be regular meetings with clergy and churchwardens, weekly staff prayers and meetings, servers meetings and organist meetings. Parties are on the agenda! 7. Making use of “Yourchurchwedding” website to join in with the Wedding Project and actively seeking ways to work with those who provide receptions. 8. Using the services of an administrator, electronic diary and central website as well as mobile phone apps. 9. Ensure that visitors can make donations. 10. Summer and winter programme of social and study events to build relationships across the congregations. To help us to bring plans to fruition we have already established a network of individuals, organisations and churches who will assist us in our task of joining in where we see God at work. Parish Profile for the five City Centre Churches: All Saints Pavement, St Denys, St Helen and St Martin, Coney Street and St Olave’s Page 2 Who are the people of York? Who are the people in York– the people we as part of the Church in York are called to serve? Firstly there is the permanent resident population of all ages, reflecting the national trend towards older people. Within this residential group there are the temporary residents - students. Secondly, there is the all year round but particularly summer visiting population. It is estimated that this amounts to some 7 million visitors per year. Tourism, the arts and restaurants are major elements in city life. York is designated as an area of archaeological importance, with the prospect of becoming a World Heritage Site of international significance. The residential population of York at the 2001 census was 191,800, projected to increase to 215,000 by 2021. A new housing and commercial development started in Hungate will directly impact on the city centre. Our city centre churches are located at the heart of all that is going on – city life and society are on our doorstep. York’s culture is diverse - it attracts the world’s leading speakers to the Ebor Lectures series and some of the highest calibre academics to the city’s two Universities. York has one of the UK’s finest racecourses, high quality retail outlets and a wide range of bars and restaurants. This diversity enriches the city but also brings its own challenges. As a Christian presence we want to reflect and react to what is going on around us, however complex that might be. We realise that we must be forward thinking and inclusive so that we can join in where we see God at work. While we want to be faithful to what has gone on before, we know we must be brave and open minded enough to embrace and adapt to this technical and media dominated society. A little help from our friends CoRE, the working name for York City Centre Churches Care and Development Trust, is a totally independent, ecumenical body working on behalf of the churches and associated Christian bodies within the walls of York City Centre. Over the last few years CoRE has initiated and supported many of the five churches’ non-worship activities and helped develop collaborative working. The central locations of the Churches, their architecture, acoustics and their compact size make them ideal venues for a wide range of community performances. The Churches are delighted to play their part in welcoming people in through music, dance and song. At Easter 2012 we welcomed over 1,000 people to experience “Missing Mysteries” performed in six churches by the Youth Theatre. A relationship between York Minster and the churches has continued to develop over recent years. This has taken time, and we await the installation of the new Dean. We have also developed strong relationships with the Medieval Guilds of York and many groups who actively work to support the people of York and its economy. The five churches hope that the incumbent and assistant clergy will continue to strengthen these relationships. Churches Together in York is vibrant offering opportunities for worship and study together. In addition, One Voice York meets for prayer and breakfast every Wednesday and promotes mission in the City and beyond. We work collaboratively with churches of all denominations within the city, The City Council and other agencies on policies such as helping the homeless and people who find themselves in difficulties.

  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

  • Air Quality – Annual Status Report
    24 September 2020 Decision Session – Executive Member for Environment and Climate Change Report of the Corporate Director, Economy and Place Air Quality – Annual Status Report Executive Summary 1. The report details the latest air quality monitoring results for the city and progress on delivering the measures in York’s third Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3) to deliver further improvements. 2. Recent air quality monitoring can be summarised as follows: There has been a general downward trend in Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations monitored across the city since 2012, although year on year improvements in NO2 have been much less pronounced over the last 2-3 years and in some areas appear to have plateaued. This clearly demonstrates the need to continue to deliver the air quality improvement measures in AQAP3. The health based annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) objective is still being breached at some locations in the city, including Gillygate, Holgate / Blossom Street and Rougier Street / George Hudson Street. Elevated levels of NO2, below the objective, were monitored along Nunnery Lane, Lawrence Street, Fishergate and Coppergate. NO2 concentrations in the former Salisbury Terrace and Fulford Road AQMAs are still well within health based limits. National air quality objectives for PM10 and PM2.5 are currently easily met in York. There does not appear to be any clear trend in PM10 concentrations based on monitoring over the last 8 years. The general downward trend in PM10 concentrations observed at roadside monitoring sites up to 2017 has not continued through 2018 and 2019. Concentrations of PM2.5 have generally decreased at roadside locations in recent years, although PM2.5 monitored at York’s background monitoring station have been more variable.

  • Environment and Activity in the Coppergate Area of York in the Post-Conquest Period: Draft Post-Excavation Project Design
    Reports from the Environmental Archaeology Unit, York 97/2, 22 pp. Environment and activity in the Coppergate area of York in the post-Conquest period: draft post-excavation project design by Keith Dobney, Allan Hall and Harry Kenward Summary Following assessments of the bio- and geoarchaeological potential of samples of deposits of post- Conquest date from a number of sites in the Coppergate-Piccadilly-Pavement area of York, a post- excavation project design is presented. It is proposed that, in addition to reconstruction of the implications of the data at the context and feature level, there should be emphasis on analysis of change through time (especially in the period following the Norman Conquest), of use of space, and of relationships between functional areas in this crucial area of the city.

The National Centre for Early Music is administered by a registered charity, the York Early Music Foundation.

  • Excavations at Rougier Street, York, 1981
    Excavations at Rougier Street, York, 1981 It is not often that there is a chance to excavate inside the Roman colonia, the civilian town. One arose, however, in spring 1981 with the proposed redevelopment of a small site between the Richard III pub and the Leedham's garage on Rougier Street, and by agreement with the architects and developers, Towngate Securities, it was decided to excavate a trench 2.50m wide and 12m long. The archaeological aims of the excavation were threefold: to try to locate a Roman colonia riverside wall; to trace the development of the river frontage; and to look for evidence of the medieval tanning industry. It has been suggested by analogy with Roman London and other towns in the Empire that the Roman colonia had a wall running parallel and adjacent to the River Ouse, but no evidence for one has as yet come to light in York. Whether this wall is found or not, however, it remains the case that very little excavation to modern standards has taken place in the colonia, and any glimpse of Roman deposits would be useful both from the point of view of learning more about its topography and recovering samples for research into its environment. The development of the river front has been glimpsed already in Trust excavation at Skeldergate and Coney Street (INTERIM vol 1 no 1 pp20-21; vol 2 no 3 pp7-11, vol 2 no 2 pp21-6) but there is still much to learn. The medieval tanning industry is, in contrast to the colonia wall, well documented.
