In common speech the street is always 'Stammergate, which is probably a corruption of 'Stanbriggate. The latter is the original name of the street, and appears frequently in mediæval records. It has reference to a stone bridge over a brook where the gas-works now are. The continuation of this street toward the Cathedral is called St.
It was, as has been said, the parish church of the huge parish of Ripon. Yet the town itself possessed at an early period a separate parish church of Allhallows, a memory of which survives in 'Allhallowgate. There was also an old chapel of the Virgin called the 'Lady-kirk, in 'Stammergate, and there were chapels at the two hospitals and the palace.
Mary-gate, but this name again seems to be modern, and to have arisen from a notion that 'St. Mary-gate' is the origin of the word 'Stammergate' a notion which would be rendered more plausible by the fact that this was the situation of the Lady-kirk. The question whether his monastery church stood over the Saxon crypt which exists below the present Cathedral is reserved for Chap.
