Divisions
British League:
Premiership
Division 1
Division 2
Division 3
...and lots of "local leagues".
These local leagues have the major advantage that anyone can play there and the administration is very simple and quick. That means that even players from Premiership teams or from other countries are allowed to play local matches.
British League teams always consist of four players. Many british top players play abroad, such as English Matthew Syed (France/Japan), Carl Prean (Weitmar-Munscheid), Gareth Herbert (Altenbögge this year), Juniors Dominic Hall and Matt Kenny, Welsh Adam Robertson and Welsh Ryan Jenkins (all Zweite Bundesliga), or Scottish Niall Cameron (France). This is not an exhaustive list, but those who came to my mind right now.
Logically, the level is not as high as in German leagues, but you will find a club in York anyway. Unfortunately, I can't really help you for that because I have been living in London and therefore have contacts in Greater Lodon essentially.
I recommend you to have a look at the "Links" on the ETTA homepage
http://www.etta.co.uk/. Then you can contact a local league or directly a club. I will send you the e-mail of Mick Strode, an ETTA representant, by PN.
How long will you stay there?
I hope I could help you, don't hesitate for further questions
