The first house on this site was almost certainly built c. 1270 for Simon de Warwick, Abbot of St. Mary's. The house as it now exists is mostly a rebuilding of the late 15th century. The work, usually assigned to Abbot William Sever, was begun by his predecessor Abbot Thomas Boothe to whom a Crown licence was given on 30 September 1483. The University of York are due to vacate the premises in Sep 2025, after some 60 years, when it will be handed back over to York City Council. This is due to an estimated £15-20m of maintenance required on the building in addition to the routine annual running costs of £500k, and the Manor's net usable space is only 36%.
