York No. 44, Hungate / 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. JOHN, Hungate, is first mentioned in a papal confirmation of possessions of the minster in 1194 [...] Between 1331 and 1443 the church was annexed with five others to St. Martin's, Coney Street. [...] In 1523 neither priest nor clerk was serving the church [...] It was proposed in 1548 to unite the church, together with St. Andrew's, St. Andrewgate, with All Saints', Peaseholme: [...] both were united with St. Saviour's in 1586, All Saints', Peaseholme, having by that time itself decayed. [...] Money from the sale of the church property was used for city purposes. [...] The site of the church is thought to have been at the south-east end of Hungate where it joined the former Palmer Lane." An article of 20 October 2013 in the BBCNews [www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-24593823] [accessed 16 August 2019] notes: "The remains of one of York's "lost" medieval churches have been revealed to the public for the first time in about 450 years. The precise location of the 12th Century St John the Baptist church in Hungate was never recorded before its demolition in the 16th Century.
