    As far as I know the Shambles is an old word for slaughterhouse, which is why there are so many butchers shops there with the hooks that they used auto hang the carcass on the outside of the shop. As you can imagine the slaughterhouse got very messy so the word shambles became associated with a messy or chaotic area, but not its original meaning.

    'Shambles' as a name, has more to do with the Butchers that used to trade there than you think.
    'Shambles' was once a term for 'an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market'. (In Old English, a 'shamble' [sċeamol] was originally a bench for the sale of goods, probably from the Norse word 'shammel' which described shelves that stores used to display their wares.)
    The modern term "shambles" (or 'shamble', 'shambolic', etc.) derives from this definition, thought to have originally described the disarray of animal parts & blood that was evident at a Shambles.

    The reason we have such a green land is BECAUSE of the right amount of rain and sun.

    Paris certainly has more.
    But that’s generalisations for you,our summers,especially recent years,are often too hot!

    What I will always find amazing is that the people who set about building the cathedrals we have, knew that they would never see its completion. They were thinking about future generations.
    Yes it gets very busy at weekends and December. Best to go through the weekdays definately.
    There are actually two places called house of trembling madness. One is a tiny pub hidden behind a bottle shop and the other stemmed from that and is more of a large trendy place. Both great in their own right
    So much history to explore there. If you ever go back I recommend going to the museums. There is also a cold war bunker on the outskirts which is fascinating. Thanks again for your content

    Growing up we never had Yorkshire pudding with anything other than Beef. Restaurants only served it either roast beef or a beef stew.

    Steve from Halifax here (no not that one - Nova Scotia,) but the probably original one in Yorkshire, England. Therefore I certainly do know what Yorkshire puddings are. I think you should put extra gravy on the wrap next time. P.S. If you don't like the weather in England etc.... just wait ten minutes. There isn't the wrong weather actually, just the wrong clothes. P.P.S. The Shambles's houses etc.... are like that because the footprint was very expensive in the day, so the upper floors were built jutting out as they got higher at no extra ground cost. Sometimes people could literally shake hands with an opposite neighboUr from the upper floors.

    Yorkshire pudding wraps are a recent thing, in my opinion it's not what they were meant for. Their true purpose in Yorkshire is the size of the plate, with the meat, veg and potatoes inside it along with gravy and eaten with a knife and fork. Outside Yorkshire, they are a lot smaller and accompany the dinner rather than contain it.

    I live so close to York that I could ... on the roof of the Minster from my front door. `Been there countless times - and who wouldn`t have taken the opportunity ? Living so close ?
    I get confused as to which Holy Roman Emperor was crowned there. But I think it was that man who came to be known as Constantine The Great. Crowned and proclaimed Emperor by his troops, essentially, who often swore fealty to their General in the field - rather than the `boss` in Rome ( being so far from Rome ).
    I like visiting cities, but have not travelled far. I have been to the second City of Christendom, Rome, and the third, Santiago de Compostela ( The City of "Saint James of the Field of Stars" ). My natural appetite should, then, point me toward Jerusalem for my next sojourn - the First City of Christendom. But I have a mind to go to Istanbul / Constantinople.
    I`m not a huge fan of Harry Potter. I prefer Tolkein`s far more brilliant novels, The Silmarillion and of course, The Lord of the Rings. Tolkein spent some time in Yorkshire. Back then the Shires of Yorkshire were split into the North, West and East Ridings of Yorkshire. It makes me wonder if these names inspired him to come up with the `Shire - Farthings` in TLOTR`s.

    It’s called the shambles because of the window ledges out side each shop were called shambles , where the butchers used to display their goods the shambles isn’t a mess . It’s shape come from being taxed for the floor size . So they were smaller on the ground floor .

    • @JohnnieAshton

      Sorry but you have been misinformed. Shambles was the old word used for slaughterhouses, and hence Butchers premises, which were always messy, hence shambolic. Nothing to do with Architecture.
      The reason for building houses like that was so the furniture, like wardrobes and heavy chests full of heavy woollen materials, were placed against the walls on upper floors, this put the weight directly onto the foundations.

    Just a few things to mention. Firstly, you don't have to pay to go in the minster. If you're going in for a service, or for another religious purpose, like to pray, you can go in for free, although it's good manners to make good use of the donations tins if you do that.
    Secondly, The Shambles has absolutely no connection to Harry Potter whatsoever, other than the production designers for the movies wanted to create a street with architecture similar in style that old tudor or medieval theme found throughout England including the Shambles, but JK Rowling had never even heard of the Shambles when writing the books. There are a lot of stories of her visiting the Shambles and imagining her characters walking around etc, but none of that's true unfortunately.

      It's not ridiculous when it costs thousands of pounds to run every day. People don't go there to pray (although services are free) but to gawp at the architecture, just like they would a stately home or any other historic site - and no-one objects to paying an entrance fee for that. You get your money's worth here which includes a guided tour. The crypt is amazing and you can see the Roman ruins on which the cathedral was built. When I pay to go into such amazing buildings, I am pleased I have contributed towards the upkeep of an incredible piece of history and to keep so much beauty preserved for further generations to admire.
