Owned and opened to the public by the National Trust, the Treasurer's House stands between the Minster Close and Dean's Park. It is a fine Jacobean Mansion which partly dates back to the reign of King Edward I, when it was occupied by the Treasurer of the Minster: the man in charge of the cathedral's silver and plate.

Internally, the house employs numerous architectural styles: an innovative yet confusing design set out under a late Victorian owner named Frank Green. Treasures include the beautiful Flemish Tapestries and early lavatories once used by King Edward VII! The cellars are infamous for their ghostly Roman soldiers.
