York No. 31 / Eboracum / Eburacum / Eburākon / Eoforwic / Everwic / Jórvík

One of the churches mentioned in the entries for York in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE6052/york/] [accessed 11 October 2018] is believed to have been the Church of St. Crux. The entry for this church in the Inventory of Historical Monuments in City of York (vol. 5, 1981) notes: "St. Crux Parish Room stands on the N.W. side of Pavement at the corner of Whip-ma-whop-magate; it is on the site and incorporates slight remains of the former Parish Church of St. Crux [...]. The church was mentioned in Domesday Book [...] Nothing is known of the structural history before the first quarter of the 15th century, when the church was rebuilt [...] demolition was completed in 1887 [...] The parish room was built on part of the site in 1888, using materials from the demolished church and incorporating a section of the old N. wall; many monuments and other fittings were reset inside [...] Font: octagonal bowl on octagonal shaft with moulded cap and base, 15th-century; now at St. Andrew's, Bishopthorpe." [NB: we have no information on the font of that church].
