About
Also known as the “Oratory House”, the rectory to the Oratory Church of Saint Wilfrid (Duncombe Place) is a grade II* listed, early C18 town house, within the city walls. Behind its stucco façade is perhaps one of the cities best-kept secrets; its garden. It is open twice yearly, and admission is granted for a small admission fee, which goes towards the not-insignificant cost of maintenance. Those wishing to visit are encouraged to check the Oratory website for more information.
