In the early 1500s, Saint Wilfrid's was an advowson of the Benedictine Saint Mary's Abbey, York.[4] In 1585, the parish could not support itself; the church became redundant, had fallen into disuse, and was demolished.[5] It was eventually built over and the parish united with Saint Michael le Belfry. Saint Wilfrid's parish was revived by York Catholics in 1742 when they established their Mission in Little Blake Street. The Mission was founded by the Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District of England, Edward Dicconson.
The Church you see now was completed in 1864 , taking 2 years to build.

York Minster, formally the "Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York", is an Anglican cathedral in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England.
The first record of a church on the site dates to 627 built hurriedly to provide a place to baptise King Edwin of Northumbria.
The title "minster" also dates to the Anglo-Saxon period, originally denoting a missionary teaching church
