York Crown Court

03 Jun 2013 2 2 523
At the end of the 18th century, three new buildings forming a U shape were constructed south of Clifford's Tower, the only surviving part of York Castle. The Assize Courts, on the west side, was one of them. Designed by John Carr, it now houses the York Crown Court. The Assizes were criminal courts used in England and Wales until their abolishment by the Courts Act of 1971. Since then, the criminal justice system has been under the jurisdiction of the Crown Court. Thank you for your visits and comments, much appreciated...
