St Crux Hall stands on the site of the former St Crux church, which was demolished in 1887 after many years of repair and rebuilding. The original church of St Crux dates back from the Doomsday book 1085-1086, although fragments of a pre-Doomsday Saxon cross have been found on the site. The hall now falls under the parish of All Saints Pavement and is used as a cafe and for charitable events. Inside are a number of memorials including one to Thomas Bowes who was Lord Mayor of York in 1761 and whose shield incorporates the arrowheads and bows elements, which are found in the Arms of the Queen Mother (Bowes-Lyon).
