Judges Court
Judges Court

Judges Court is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies in a courtyard, off Coney Street. It was built at the start of the 18th century, while some of the walls in the south corner may survive from an earlier structure. From 1720, it served as lodgings for judges presiding over Assize Courts in the city. In 1806, the judges were relocated to Judges' Lodgings, and the house was let short-term to families visiting the city. In 1841, it became the ministers' house for the Wesleyan chapel on New Street, and it later served as offices. It was Grade II* listed in 1971, along with its front steps and railings.In the 2010s, the building was converted into a 15-bedroom hotel, with each room named after a judge who stayed in the building. It originally shared owners with the city's Churchill hotel. In 2023, it was put up for sale, for £3 million.The building is constructed of brick, with the front and sides covered in Victorian render, with stone dressings, timber gutters, and a slate roof. The central entrance is up stone steps, with cast iron railings, and there is a 19th-century front door with a fanlight above. The front abuts the rear of 28 and 30 Coney Street, and although that building is 20th century, there has been a structure in that location since Judges Court was built. The windows are sashes, and mostly 19th century. At the rear, there is a spiral staircase, which leads down to the basement.Inside the building, there are brick-vaulted cellars. The south corner room on the ground floor has early panelling, and the first floor room above has an early fireplace, as does one attic room. The main staircase, and the surviving part of the back staircase above the first floor are also early. Many of the remaining fixtures are 19th century.

Mulberry Hall
Mulberry Hall

Mulberry Hall is a grade II* listed building on Stonegate, in the city centre of York, in England. Stonegate has been an important street for many centuries, and a Mulberry Hall existed on the site by 1372, housing the prebend of North Newbald. In the mid-15th century, the house was demolished and a new one built. Some modern sources give the date of rebuilding as 1434, and this date is now painted onto the building. The new structure was a two-storey timber-framed building, running from the corner of Stonegate and Little Stonegate, and stretching along Stonegate to cover three building plots.In about 1574, a third storey was added to the building. The whole structure was widened to the rear, by a few feet, and a new two-storey wing added to the rear of this, with a large kitchen on the ground floor. In the 18th-century, the part of the building next to Little Stonegate was rebuilt, and has since been a separate structure, 15 Stonegate. The remainder was divided into two tenements with shops below.In the 1950s, the whole remaining part of the house was converted into a single large shop, a china and glass retailer also named Mulberry Hall. This closed in 2016, since when it has been occupied by the first UK branch of Käthe Wohlfahrt, a year-round Christmas shop.Although the building has been heavily altered over the years, it retains a jettied front with exposed timber-framing, and original 16th- and 17th-century windows on the upper floors. One window frame was formerly inscribed with the date "1574", although this is no longer visible. To the rear, part of the structure is timber-framed and jettied, although the north-east bay was rebuilt in brick in about 1700. The first floor has extensive 17th-century wood panelling, and there is also a staircase dating from about 1700. The building is owned by the Sinclair family, a well known York family.

13 Stonegate
13 Stonegate

13 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the building faces onto Stonegate. It was built in the 15th century as a three-storey, three-bay building. It may have been constructed by Thomas Doncaster, who leased the site from the Archdeacon of Richmond in 1423, but was not asked to pay rent, suggesting that he was improving the site. Both the upper floors were jettied, to Stonegate and to Little Stonegate, but the top floor was cut back, probably in the 18th century, in line with the first floor. The wing facing Little Stonegate was constructed as a separate house in about 1500, originally two storeys high, but with a third, jettied, storey added in the 17th century. In about 1600, the building facing Stonegate was extended to the rear, filling the angle between the two buildings. The internal arrangement was altered over the years, and by the 19th century, it formed three tenements, each with its own staircase. The current shopfronts on the ground floor date from about 1800. By 1954, the building had been united, when it was Grade II* listed. Since 1990, the building has housed the Original Teddy Bear Shop.The entire building is timber-framed, and externally plastered. There is a corner post, with a figurehead of a mermaid, dating to the 17th century. The roofs are covered with tiles and pantiles, and there are brick chimneystacks. Inside, there are several Georgian fittings, including a mid-18th century staircase, a Doric portico, and a marble fireplace. The Little Stonegate range has a steep staircase of similar date.
