The Old Manor House, also known as Nell Gywnne's House, is a historic building in the Clifton area of York in England. Two timber-framed tenement buildings, each of two storeys, were built on the site at some point between the 14th and 16th centuries. In the late 17th century, it was largely rebuilt in brick, in the artisan mannerist style. The rebuilding may have been due to damage during the Siege of York. A local legend claims that, when Charles II of England visited York, Nell Gwynne stayed in the house.By the 19th century, the building housed working-class families in rooms which had been subdivided. At the start of the 20th century, the eastern part of the building was a tobacconist and barbers shop. In the 1930s, the building was converted into a single house, and the roof was entirely replaced. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. In 1962, it was restored and partly rebuilt, the new work include the south-east wall and the window openings in the rear wall. The York Civic Trust purchased the building in 1985, but sold it as a private house in the early 21st century. In 2020, the house was placed on the market for £1.29 million.The building is two storeys high, with an attic above. There are two main gables on the front to the street named Clifton, and to their left, a smaller gable over the porch. Above ground floor level, the brickwork has been laid in an approximation of larger stone blocks.Inside the building, most of the ceiling beams and joists are 16th century. The chimney is in the centre of the building, and it has 17th century fireplaces. The entrance door is also 17th century, but has been moved from its original doorway. One room has an 18th-century fitted cupboard. There is a cellar under part of the house, reached down a 17th century flight of stairs.

St Philip and St James' Church is a parish church in Clifton, a suburb of inner northern York, in England. Until the mid-19th century, Clifton fell mostly within the parish of St Olave's Church, and also a detached part of the parish of St Michael le Belfrey. The heirs of Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey donated a site by Clifton Green for the construction of a church. It was designed by George Fowler Jones, and was completed in 1867, at a cost of £3,800. It was given its own parish in 1871. The church celebrated its centenary in 1967 by commissioning Kenneth Leighton to write a hymn, "O God, enfold me in the sun". Between 1984 and 1989, the church was reordered by Ronald Sims, who replaced the pews with chairs, and converted the chancel and transepts into meeting rooms. The building was grade II listed in 1997. Nikolaus Pevsner was critical of the design, describing a "ponderous west tower", but praised the "excellent fittings in a plainer Pace style". The church is in the Early English style, and is built of stone, with slate roofs, topped by a stone cross and finials. It comprises a five-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, north and south transepts, a west tower, and a south porch. On the north side is a half-hexagonal staircase turret, and a vestry.
