Undoubtedly all the streets and precincts around the Minster are the most picturesque parts of York and this is no exception. Sometimes busy, sometimes not, as with many popular parts of York get here early in the morning to beat the crowds.

The green lies within the historic precinct of York Minster. As "Vicars' Lane", it was in existence by the late Mediaeval period, named as it led from York Minster towards the College of Vicars Choral on Bedern. In the 18th-century, it was known as "Little Alice Lane", after someone who lived in the area, then from about 1800 it became known as College Street, for St William's College.[1]

The church of St Mary ad Valvas lay on the south-west side of the street until 1362, when it was demolished in order to build the Lady Chapel of York Minster.[1] In 1749, the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion built a chapel south-east of the college. By the end of the century, it was used by the Calvinistic Baptists.[2]
