St Sampson's Church, York
St Sampson's Church, York

St Sampson's Church is a former parish church in the city centre of York, England. It lies on Church Street, near St Sampson's Square. The church sits across the line of the wall of Roman Eboracum, and the first church on the site was probably built before the Norman Conquest, as a fragment of an early 11th-century cross has been found in the wall of a house on Newgate, within the former churchyard. Foundations of a Norman wall have also been discovered underneath the present church. The church was first recorded in 1154, and from 1394 the advowson belonged to the Vicars Choral of York Minster. It is dedicated to Saint Sampson of York, the only church in England with this dedication. The church was gradually rebuilt in the 15th century, the south aisle being rebuilt in the 1400s, and the north aisle dating in the 1440s, while the west tower was rebuilt in the 1480s. In the 1549, there was a plan to merge the parish with that of St Helen, Stonegate, and although this did not happen, St Sampson did gain two bells from St Helen. In 1644, the tower was damaged during the English Civil War, and the Parliamentarian troops subsequently destroyed most of the monuments in the church.Between 1845 and 1848, most of the church was rebuilt by Frederick Bell but kept with the Gothic style, and a vestry was added. Because of this work, the church is considered to be more Victorian in construction than medieval. The tower survived, but was reduced in height, being heightened again in 1910. Other pre-Victorian elements of the church include the east window of the north aisle, some roof bosses, the bell-frame and bells, the north and south doors, the piscina, and various monuments. In 1969, the church closed, and many of its fittings were removed. However, it was restored by George Pace, and in 1974 it reopened as a centre for the elderly. He inserted a mezzanine floor over the north aisle, to give space for offices, and placed a kitchen in the south aisle. The sanctuary was converted into a chapel, with a reredos from All Saints, Falsgrove.The church was listed as Grade II in June 1954.

64 and 66 Low Petergate
64 and 66 Low Petergate

64 and 66 Low Petergate is a grade II* listed building, in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Low Petergate, which has long been one of the major streets in York city centre. The oldest part of the building is the south-east wing, which dates from the 15th century. This was part of a house which was owned by the Talbot family in the 16th century, and they added a two-storey structure on the north-east side of the wing, which has been reduced over time to a small, single-storey section. In the 17th century, the neighbouring 62 Low Petergate became the Talbot Inn, one of the main coaching inns in the city, and it may have extended into what is now 64 and 66 Low Petergate. The 15th-century walls were mostly rebuilt, and a new staircase was added, now known as the Talbot Stairs, and a new wing was added to the north-west. All this section of the building is timber-framed, and has been heavily restored. In 1743, the front of the building was rebuilt. The new front was three storeys high, and five bays wide. The upper floor windows survive, as does the top of a drainpipe, dated 1743, two fireplaces, a door, and two staircases. The ground floor has been replaced with 20th-century plate glass shopfronts.In the 20th century, the building formed part of the York College for Girls. This closed in 1997, and the building was restored in 2007. The front part of its ground floor serves as two shops, while the upper floors are residential.

2 Jubbergate
2 Jubbergate

2 Jubbergate, also known as 4 Jubbergate, is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The older part of the building was constructed in the 14th-century, at the end of Jubbergate, where it met Newgate and Little Shambles. This part is of two bays, timber framed, with a jettied upper floor, and brick infill on the ground floor. In the early-17th century, another timber-framed building was constructed next to it, in two parts: a two bay, two storied section with an original attic and cellar, and a smaller three storey section, the two perhaps having been built a few years apart. Over time, the two have become interconnected and are now a single property. Internally, the 17th-century section has an original chimney with a fireplace in the attic, and there is a plaster cornice in one first floor room which dates from the 18th-century. By 1830, the building was in commercial use, as the Taylor, Cook & Co chemists and art shop. With the creation of nearby Parliament Street, it became a prime location for its new market, and by the 1870s it was a hatters' shop. In 1928, the building was restored by Brierley and Rutherford. They rebuilt the north-east wall of the 14th-century wing, inserted a new staircase in the 17th-century wing and built a brick extension to its rear, replaced the windows, and renewed some of the timber.Following the reconstruction, the building served for many years as the White Rose Cafe. It was grade II* listed in 1954, and in 1957, the York Conservation Trust purchased the freehold. As part of the creation of the Shambles Market, the neighbouring buildings were demolished, and it is now freestanding, almost surrounded by the market. It later became Gert and Henry's restaurant.
