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 building was constructed in about 1500 as a terrace of five houses on the north-east side of Low Petergate, for John Stockdale.

33 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The timber framed building was constructed in the early 17th century, probably at the same time as the similar building at 31 Stonegate. Late in the century, it was extended to the rear, in brick. The front was originally pargetted, but this was removed in the late 19th century and replaced by plain plaster with elaborately carved wood. This incorporates the date "1489", but this does not relate to any event in the history of the site. The building has three stories and an attic, each of which is jettied. The ground floor has a shopfront, and at its right hand end is a bracket supporting a carving of the devil. The devil is believed to have advertised a printing business in the building, a "printer's devil" being a nickname for a printer's assistant. Inside, a late-17th century rises the height of the building. Several original doors survive, as does the panelling in the front room on the first floor.The building was grade II* listed in 1954. Since 2017, it has housed the flagship shop of Abraham Moon, a woollen mill based in Guiseley.A local story states that Laurence Sterne lived at the house for several years, and he would frighten off potential thieves by banging his walking stick against his bedroom wall, a sound which can supposedly still be heard in neighbouring 35 Stonegate.
