This seemed providential - I am trying to determine the ownership of a building, which I have been told is the property of the Trust.
However, this site (if I've got to the right bit - and I do get lost in sites!) seems to be simply brochureware for the well known gems in the
National Trust's collections. So I can't really comment on its use as a resource for a buildings archaeologist.
As a tourist resource, you might want to consider adding (York) after one of the two Treasurer's Houses. The new advice from mecap is to use photographs, rather than
symbols for things like buses. A search for the street address of the Treasures House, York, found no matches for either the address of the side-entrance (the public access) or the main
entrance (but maybe the search engine doesn't like strings???). But as Ed says, an excellent site for those wanting to plan visits to
NT properties.
With best wishes,
Pat
research student, Department of Archaeology, University of York, still trying to
find out who owns 4, 6, and 8 Chapter House Street ....
