Church Street is a street in the city centre of York, in England.

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.

6 Patrick Pool is a grade II* listed timber framed building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1600, as a three-storey, three-bay building. Its original use is uncertain, and may have been social, or have been connected with the neighbouring St Sampson's Church. Alternatively, it may have been used as a warehouse. In the 18th century, it was converted into stables, and then in the 19th century into a warehouse.Both the upper floors are jettied on the two long sides. It is timber framed, with infill of brick tiles which are plastered. Its rear wall has been partly rebuilt in orange brick, and the roof is tiled. The internal timber framing survives intact, as does the original lime ash plaster of the attic floor.By the mid-20th century, the building was in poor repair, but it was restored in 1960. In 2007, it became the Pivni bar, which in 2022 was one of 17 York pubs listed in the Good Beer Guide.

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.

73, 75 and 77 Low Petergate is a terrace of late Mediaeval buildings in York, in England. The terrace was constructed in the late-16th century, and originally consisted of four houses. Each is of three stories with an attic, and each storey is jettied over the one below. They are timber-framed throughout, and this is largely exposed inside the upper floors. In each building, part of the original staircase from the second floor to the attic survives. In 75, a large chimney breast with two hearths survives.The street fronts are rendered with stucco, with incisions designed to make it resemble ashlar. 73 and 77 have original gables, while 75 has twin gables which were added in the 17th century. Various extensions have been added to the rear of the terrace, with the largest addition being to 73.The houses lie on Low Petergate, one of the most important streets in the city centre, now a major shopping street. In the 19th century, the ground floors were converted into three shops, and the shop front of 77 survives, while the others were further altered in the 20th century. With the later house at 71 Low Petergate, and the earlier ones at 79 and 81 Low Petergate, they form a lengthy range of timber-framed buildings which Nikolaus Pevsner described as "impressive". The terrace has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

5 and 6 King's Court is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. In 1376 and 1505, a building named Hellekeld was recorded as lying on King's Court, and the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England argues that this may be on the site of 5 and 6 King's Court. The oldest part of the current building is at the rear of the site, facing onto Pump Court. It is a three-storey timber framed building, dating from the 16th century, and both the upper storeys are jettied. It appears that this building suffered some subsidence, and several braces were added, to counter this. The front block of the building is also three storeys high. It was originally timber-framed and jettied, but in 1755 it was remodelled, and the front wall was rebuilt in brick. In the 19th century, shop windows were added on the ground floor of the building.The entire building was largely rebuilt in 1951. The front retains only the cornice of the 1755 structure, but other features such as its windows, and a drainpipe head dated 1755, are copies of the 18th century work. Inside, some beams and a fireplace survive from the 18th century building. In the rear block, much of the second floor frame is 16th century, in addition to a few ground floor beams. The basement has stone walls, reused square stone column bases, and massive oak posts.The building was Grade II listed in 1954.
