114 VILLAGES. AC0MB, pleasantly situated, about two and a-lialf miles from York, is approached through Micklegate Bar and Holgate Lane, and is much frequented by invalids. On the way the pedestrian will pass on his left the house occupied by Lindley Murray, the grammarian ; to the right Severus' Hill and further .on to the left the ornamental nursery grounds of Messrs. Backhouse & Son, which are well worth a visit. They contain a remarkable piece of landscape gardening in the shape of an Alpine grotto, with ferneries, orchid house, and rare exotics of all descriptions. St. Stephen's Church is a plain semi- Gothic building of stone, erected in the early part of this century, consisting of nave, small chancel with open timbered roof, short transepts, and three galleries. There are two bells in the low tower, on which a somewhat stunted spire is built. The principal attraction of the church is its position; standing on high ground surrounded by trees, above which its spire rises and may be seen from a great distance. There are several monuments in the church, and two ancient carved chairs near the communion table. BISHOPTHORPE, about three miles south of the city, on the right bank of the Ouse, is the residence of the Archbishops of York. The palace is an irregular building, purchased originally by Archbishop Walter De Grey in the 13th century, and approached through a gateway with crocketed turrets, erected by Archbishop Drummond about 1770, out of stone taken from the ruins of Cawood Castle, another palace. Archbishop Drummond also erected the central block of buildings in the Debased Gothic of his time which now forms the most prominent feature of the house. There are several fine rooms, the principal being the dining room, on the walls of which are hung portraits of the prelates who have filled this see since the Reformation. The Chapel, a good specimen of Early English^ was built by Walter De Grey. Archbishop Scrope's mock trial took place here in 1405. A stately row of poplars lines the village street.
115 St. Andrew's Church is a small building near the Palace Perpendicular, Has nave, two small transepts, chancel, and gallery. The east window of stained glass is said to have been brought from the old palace at Cawood. On the north side of the chancel is the Archbishop's throne. There is one bell. CLIFTON is about one mile distant from Bootham Bar. Overlooking the village green is the Church of St. Philip and St. James. It was erected in 1857 ; has nave, transepts, chancel, and tower, with belfry containing six bells. Early English in style, with open timber roof. About half a mile beyond is the North and East EiDiNGS Asylum for pauper lunatics, ^opened in 1847. It is a large, handsome building, in the Elizabethan style, and stands in a garden of thirty acres, attached to which is a grazing farm of upwards of fifty acres. The patients, about three hundred in number, are extensively employed in various handicrafts. There is a chapel connected with the establishment, where divine service is held on Sundays and Wednesdays. (See page 87.) DRINGHOUSES, about one mile and a half south of York, pleasantly situated beyond Knavesmire, with beautiful church dedicated to St. Edmund the Confessor. It has nave, chancel, and small bell turret containing two bells, open timber roof, oak furniture, handsome reredos and altar ; all the windows are of stained glass. Early English; will accommodate about 300. ESCRICK, a large village six miles to the south-east. The church is a gem of architectural work, and worth a lengthened inspection. Escrick Park, the seat of Lord Wenlock, is close to the village. FULFORD, about one and a half miles from York, near the Ouse. Here, in 1066, Earls Morcar and Edwin were defeated by the Norwegian chiefs, Harold, Hardrada, and Tosti. St. Oswald's Church was erected in 1866 at a cost of about d6 6000, raised by subscription. Early English in style and has nave, aisles, transepts, chancel, vestry, clock tower, with, vopen bell chamber, in which is hung one bell, the lights
