Holy Trinity Goodramgate is an 800 year old building. Wheelchair accessible save for the Sunken Chapel, but floors are uneven throughout and light levels low. Do wrap up warmly since the temperature inside tends to be a little colder than that outside. Blankets available on request. Any questions regarding access, email york@thecct.org.uk.
