About the Quilt Museum & Gallery
The Quilt Museum & Gallery is owned and managed by The Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles. The Guild is an educational charity working to promote the understanding, appreciation and knowledge of the art, techniques and heritage of patchwork, quilting and appliqué.
The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles is a national membership
organisation, formed in 1979 and made up of about 7,000
individual members, mostly from the UK, but also from Europe and other
parts of the world.
The Quilt Museum and Gallery is based in St Anthony’s Hall, a medieval guildhall in the centre of York. A Grade I listed building, the hall is of significant architectural and historical interest.
York Archaeological Trust monitored underpinning and ground works during refurbishment of the Grade I Listed St Anthony’s Hall for the York Conservation Trust. St Anthony’s stands on the side of a hill sloping towards the River Foss just outside the area of the Roman fortress but within the defences of the medieval city. The building has a complex history of development and it was hoped archaeology would add to the story of its development.
Although St Anthony's Hall is an ancient building, we have done our best to accommodate all visitors. If you have a particular access requirement not mentioned here, please contact us in advance of your visit.
