St. William's College in the Minster Close was built in 1461 as a school for the Minster priests. Many alterations were made to th ebuilding during the 16th and 17th centuries, it was later turned into slum tenements and was in a terrible state of disrepair before its eventual restoration at the turn of the century.
Part of the building is now a popular restaurant, very popular with tourists and visitors to the Minster. Though not obvious, the inner courtyard is open to the public, as are three of the beautifully panelled upper chambers, when not in use for conferences or receptions
