Roger Lee inside Bedern Hall Picture: Frank Dwyer A MUCH-LOVED, but often overlooked, medieval hall in the heart of York is getting ready to reopen this month. Bedern Hall tucked away in Bartle Garth off St Andrewgate, close to York Minster, opens to the general public on Wednesday, May 19 with a new heritage interpretation programme. Visitors will see how the hall was restored, what is was like when it was the Refectory for the Vicars Choral of York Minster and will learn about their lifestyle, how they built the hall and discover some of the things they left behind. It also includes later periods and its many different uses over the centuries including as tenemented accommodation, a bakery and a pork pie maker’s curing hall.
