The Treasurer's House in York, North Yorkshire, England, is a Grade I listed historic house owned by the National Trust, who also maintain its garden. It is located in Minster Yard, directly to the north of York Minster.
In the late 1800s wealthy Yorkshireman Frank Green created his version of a historic house to showcase his important collection. He transformed a house of declining fortunes into a handsome property, with lavish interiors grand enough to entertain the future King, Edward VII. The remarkable collection includes antique furniture, ceramics, textiles and paintings from a 300-year period, collected by Frank Green as he travelled the world.
"Speaking of ghosts, the house actually stands on a Roman Road and is allegedly haunted by Roman Soldiers. The famous story goes, that it in 1953 a local plumber was busy in the cellar repairing pipe work, when he heard the sound of drums. This was shortly followed by an apparition of armed legionaries, that emerged from the wall, visible only from the knees up! For guests who are brave enough, the National Trust actually runs ghostly tours of the cellar throughout the year."
