View across the River Ouse towards Marygate Water Tower, sometimes known as Marygate Landing Tower. This Tower (standing at the bottom of Marygate) is part of the remains of the defensive precinct walls of St Mary’s Abbey, which survive on the north-west and north-east sides of the Abbey Precinct. The Water Tower and St Mary’s Tower (at the other end of Marygate) were erected in 1324. A pedestrian arch was added beside the Water Tower around 1836. The Tower is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Beyond this, the half-timbered building partly hidden by trees, is the14th century Hospitium, a two-storey listed building set within the Museum Gardens. It was built as part of St Mary’s Abbey and the name Hospitium (related to hospitality) suggests that the building was used for housing guests. Beyond this again, the towers of York Minster can also be partially seen.
