St John’s Church, Ousebridge, Micklegate, York is a Grade II* listed[1] former parish church in the Church of England in York.[2]
History
The church dates from the 12th century. The chancel is 14th century. The north aisle and arcade were rebuilt, and the west end extended in the 15th century. The tower collapsed in 1551 and part of the north aisle was rebuilt.
The church was restored in 1850 by George Fowler Jones, when the south porch was added, and the east end rebuilt. The windows were reglazed, a new floor laid and new pews were added. In 1866 JB and W Atkinson of York re-roofed the nave.[3]
In 1934 the church was closed, and became York Arts Centre. Latterly it has been used as a bar.
