All Saints' Church, Pavement (York)

United Kingdom / England / York / The Pavement
 Grade I Listed (UK), anglican church, 14th century construction

All Saints stands in the centre of one of the earliest paved streets in York, hence its name. It has played, and continues to play, an important role in the civic history of the city. It is the Guild Church of York and 34 Lord Mayors are buried here.

The present building dates from the 14th century, but there has been a church on this site for even longer. The earliest mention was in the Domesday Book (1086), and an Anglo-Saxon grave cover, dating from the 10th century, is the earliest evidence for a burial ground. One tradition even claims that All Saints was built in 685 AD for St Cuthbert.
