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. GREGORY, Micklegate, is probably first mentioned in a confirmation by Pope Alexander III (dated between 1166 and 1179) of the properties of Holy Trinity Priory [...] Under the Act of Edward VI it was proposed in 1548 to unite the benefice with that of St. Martin's, Micklegate. [...] In the same year the churchyard and church ground were conveyed to Alderman Bean for 20s. [...] The benefice was finally united with St. Martin's (which alone among York's united benefices retains the double name) in 1586. [...] The church lay on the east side of Barker (formerly Gregory) Lane about half-way between Tanner Row and Micklegate."
