There are twelve entries for York in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6052/york/] [accessed 8 August 2019] eight of which mentions a church in it [cf. infra]. The entry for York churches in the Victoria County History (York, 1961) notes: "Eight churches are mentioned in Domesday: [...] three (St. Crux, St. Cuthbert, and Holy Trinity, Micklegate) may be certainly identified, and four (All Saints, Pavement, St. Andrew, St. Andrewgate, St. Martin, Coney Street, and St. Mary, Castlegate) with considerable probability; one is not named [...] Only of one church, and that an early one, is the foundation date certainly known: St. Olave's. [...] The church of ALL SAINTS, Peaseholme Green, is first mentioned in a document dated between 1191 and 1206 in terms that suggest that it had been founded early in the 12th century [...] All Saints itself declined during the later 16th century: by 1578 the fabric of the church and the parsonage were decayed [...] In 1590 the ruins of the fabric were sold to Alderman Trew; [...] in 1736 a small section of wall was said still to be standing [...] The site of the church is marked on the 1852 Ordnance Plan in the Haymarket at the south end of Peaseholme Green; [...] the site is now covered by the modern roadway known as The Stonebow".
