The Diocese of York is an administrative division of the Church of England, part of the Province of York. It covers the city of York, the eastern part of North Yorkshire, and most of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The diocese is headed by the Archbishop of York and its cathedral is York Minster. The diocese is divided into three archdeaconries of Cleveland in the north (with a Bishop of Whitby), the East Riding (with a Bishop of Hull), and in the south-west the Archdeaconry of York (with a Bishop of Selby). The diocese was once much larger, covering Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and parts of Northumberland, Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland.

The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, North Yorkshire, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England (after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury), and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York. It is run by a dean and chapter, under the Dean of York. The title "minster" is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title; the word Metropolitical in the formal name refers to the Archbishop of York's role as the Metropolitan bishop of the Province of York. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum.The minster was completed in 1472 after several centuries of building. It is devoted to Saint Peter, and has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English north and south transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high. The south transept contains a rose window, while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design colloquially known as The Heart of Yorkshire.

A Roman column stands in Minster Yard in the English city of York. Originally built around the first century, by the soldiers of Legio IX Hispana, it was reused by Legion VI in the 4th century. It is believed to have been part of a group of sixteen freestanding columns (eight on each side of the nave), supporting the walls of an earlier church on the site. The column was discovered beneath York Minster during a 1969 excavation, and was given to the City of York three years later to mark the 1900th anniversary of the city's founding.The column is 7.6 metres (25 ft) tall and constructed of Magnesian Limestone and millstone grit.

At the time, it was used as a coffee shop, and it remained the Garrick Coffee House until 1860. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. Since 2011, it has housed a branch of Neal's Yard Remedies. The front of the three-storey building is jettied, with the timberwork covered in plaster and whitewashed. At ground floor level is a timber shopfront, with a 20th-century bow window.

1 Minster Gates and 38 High Petergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1500, at one of the most prestigious locations in the city, the junction of High Petergate and Minster Gates. It was originally a three-storey timber-framed, jettied house, with a fourth storey added in the late 16th century. In the late 18th century, the facades on both streets were rebuilt in brick. In 1801, the house was split into two properties, and the ground floor was converted into retail space, with shop windows added. This work was probably undertaken for John Wostenholme, who ran a bookshop out of the building, and a statue of Minerva survives at the corner of the building, constructed to advertise his business. Its restoration was funded by York Civic Trust. The building has been grade II* listed since 1954. 1 Minster Gates is occupied by Shared Earth, an ethical trade shop founded in 1986. It employs prisoners nearing the end of their sentences, but was in the news in 2024 after one ex-offender employed by the business stole £17,000 of its money. Since 1976, 38 High Petergate has been the Japanese Print Shop, selling Japanese woodblock prints. The building has a two-bay front on Minster Gates, and a seven-bay front on High Petergate. Some timber-framing remains, although the external walls are now in brown brick, while the roof is pantiled. There are two doors to Minster Gates, one now blocked, and one 28-pane window, with a fanlight above. To High Petergate, four similar windows flank a door. Two of the fanlights are inscribed: "Stationery" and "Prints". The statue of Minerva shows her reclining on a pile of books. The three leftmost bays have now been divided into two further shops, each with a separate front. Inside, there is an altered 18th century straight staircase from the ground floor to the first, and a winding staircase from there up to the third floor. There is a second 18th century staircase at the rear of the building. The ground floor shop entered from Minster Gates has three early doorframes, and a second room has a shallow dome. The first floor room of 38 Petergate has an old fireplace, and a room entirely panelled in early 17th century work.

At a later date, the ground floor was converted into a shop, incorporating the former passageway.The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. For some time, it was a branch of Café Rouge, before becoming Jimmy's cafe-bar, and in 2022, a Fat Hippo burger bar.The three-storey building is built of brick, on a stone base. The original entrance doorway survives, with a second entrance having been created when the passageway was removed; the remainder of the ground floor facade is a shopfront, in similar style.
