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. It now stands in front of the Minster School, in Minster Yard, on the southern side of York Minster.

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.

The Archbishop's Palace was the residence of the Archbishop of York during the later Middle Ages. It lay immediately north of York Minster, and its grounds are now known as Dean's Park.

The Adams House is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The house lies on Low Petergate, one of the main streets in the centre of York. It was built in 1772, for John Fountayne, the Dean of York. It originally incorporated a ground floor passageway through which the Deanery could be accessed. Construction cost £1,353 (equivalent to £184,003 in 2021), and was immediately let to one of the cathedral vergers, who then sub-let it. 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. There is a decorated cornice, and an original drainpipe head, with the crest of an elephant, the emblem of Fountayne. The rear facade is plainer, with various sash windows, and some blocked windows.Inside, the ground floor has been altered, but many rooms on the upper floors retain their original plasterwork and fireplaces, the grandest being in the first floor saloon. Two original staircases also survive.

43 Stonegate is a historic, Grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England.The building was probably constructed in the 15th century. It was remodelled in the 17th century, and the front and roof were replaced in the late 18th century. At the time, it was the White Dog pub, which by the mid-19th century had become the White Hart Inn. Since 1991, it has housed the Pyramid Gallery.The building is timber framed and has three storeys and a cellar. Both of the upper storeys are jettied. There is a shop window at ground-floor level, while the upper floors have bay windows. The rear wall is of 18th-century brick.

33–35 High Petergate is a Mediaeval building in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the building was constructed in the 14th century as part of a terrace facing Stonegate, this part now known as 60 Stonegate. The main part of the building, two houses now numbered 33 and 35 High Petergate, is timber framed and was originally of two jettied storeys, built at an unknown date. Around 1600, a jettied second floor and attic were added, and 60 Stonegate was combined with the High Petergate row. At the corner of the building is a dragon post inscribed ":ANNO:DO:1646".In the early-18th century, an extension was added at the rear of the building, doubling its depth. 33 Petergate was altered in early 19th century, and a small brick-built rear wing was added. Later in the century, shop fronts were inserted at ground level, and these survive. Inside, there are several early doors and the upper part of the staircase in 35 is also early, while the lower part is 18th century. The staircase in 33 is early 19th century.The building was grade II* listed in 1954. It is currently divided into two shops, with flats above.

54, 56, and 58 Stonegate is a grade II* listed mediaeval terrace in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in the early 14th century, on the north-west side of Stonegate, one of the city's most important streets. The site had been owned by the Vicars Choral since 1278, and they built the three-storey terrace, originally consisting of up to seven tenements. In 1415, it was described as a "site with shops built on it and chambers above at the corner of Stonegate opposite the entrance of the Minster", and the profits from its rents were devoted to St Andrew's Chantry at York Minster.In 1549, the chantries were dissolved, and the terrace was sold, but the Vicars Choral later re-acquired it. The buildings have been repeatedly altered, and the divisions between the properties now do not line up with the original divisions, particularly on the upper floors. In the 17th century, a panelled room was created on the first floor of 58 Stonegate, which survives. Around 1646, the upper floors of the two north-east bays were rebuilt, and that section of the terrace was connected with neighbouring properties on High Petergate, that building now being listed separately from the remainder of the terrace.The building is timber-framed, with the jettied front to Stonegate being plastered over. The windows all date from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the ground floor fronts have been replaced by 19th-century shop fronts, although a 17th-century door to 58 survives.
