York No. 40, Fishergate / Eboracum / Eburacum / Eburākon / Eoforwic / Everwic / Jórvík

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 this parish in the Victoria County History (York, 1961) notes: "The church of ST. GEORGE, Fishergate, is first mentioned in 1291 [...] A vicarage was ordained at an unknown date and a vicar is first mentioned in 1475. [...] St. George's was united with St. Denys's in 1586 [...] After the union St. George's was allowed to become ruinous. The shell was still standing in 1736 and the churchyard was certainly still used to bury Naburn's dead in the 18th century and possibly as late as 1825. [...] The site of the church is marked on the Ordnance Survey Plan of 1852 between George Street and Piccadilly. The parish comprised an area between the walls and the Foss, together with the chapelry of Naburn. The intra-mural portion of the parish retained its identity for secular purposes until 1900 and is marked on the Ordnance Survey Plan of 1852. [...] Nothing is known about the bells of the church or about its registers." Sheehan & Whellan's History and Topography of the City of York (1857) notes that the location of the disappeared church was on the smae street where the later Roman Catholic Church of St George was built
