St Thomas' Church is a parish church in the Groves area of York, a city in England. It is sometimes known as St Thomas' in the Groves. The Groves area, in the parish of St Olave's Church, York, was built up in the mid 19th century. It was decided to construct a new church in the area. A building was designed by George Fowler Jones, and constructed between 1853 and 1854. The work cost £2,500, and the completed church, in the Gothic revival style, could seat 500 worshippers. The church was given its own parish in 1855, and was enlarged in 1899. The church was grade II listed in 1997. In 2014, it was added to the Heritage at Risk Register due to severe erosion to some of its stonework. The church is built of sandstone with slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave, two-bay north and south transepts, and a two-bay chancel. The west end has a gable and its central bay projects slightly, supporting a bellcote and cross. There is an arched doorway, with windows either side, and a two-light window above.

4 Minster Yard is an historic building in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. The house lies on the street of Minster Yard, immediately east of York Minster. It was built before 1727, replacing some mediaeval buildings. Parts of the earlier buildings were retained, but most were in the wing which was later split off as 1 College Street; the exception is the north east gable. The house is two storeys tall, built of brick, with a basement and attic. Its front is five bays wide and is symmetrical. The façade was altered in the late 18th century, from which time the door and doorcase date, and the cornice was also added. Inside, two original doorcases survive on the ground floor. Other original features are the main staircase, and the decoration of the north west room on the first floor. The south east ground floor room was redecorated in the late 18th century and retains this style.The house was altered in the early 19th century, and was restored in 1992. It was grade II* listed in 1954, along with the garden wall, gate and railings in front.

Cromwell House is a grade II* listed house on Ogleforth, in the city centre of York, in England. The house was built in about 1700, and is of two storeys, with an attic. It is roughly square in plan. The rear half of the house is lower than the front part, and was originally under two separate roofs, each with its own gable, an arrangement altered in the 19th century. Between the two parts of the rear half is a timber-framed partition, which survives from an earlier building on the site, and the roof also has much reused timber. The interior was remodelled in about 1760, from which time the staircase survives.The principle interest of the house lies in its facade, which the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments described as "architecturally ambitious". It is of five bays, and originally had pilasters at each end, one of which survives. It also originally had an entablature running the full width of the second storey, which has also been lost. The doorway has a moulded stone surround. The ground and first floor windows are all 12-pane sashes, while the pediment has three small rectangular windows flanked by a pair of oval windows.In 1974, the front of the house was rebuilt, and the rear gable demolished in the 19th century was rebuilt. The building was renovated in about 1980, for use as offices, but in 2011, it was converted into flats

5 Minster Yard is a Grade II* listed building in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. The building is wholly timber-framed and is located with its south side facing Minster Yard. It originated as part of a two-storey row of tenements, built about 1300, the row also having included what is now 2 College Street. From this period survive parts of some roof trusses and a rafter. The main range may have been rebuilt in about 1500. In about 1600, a large chimney stack was added, with a new staircase to its north, and a two-storey wing was added on the north side of the building.The building was heavily altered in 1891, with its south wall rebuilt in stone, including a prominent oriel window. The west gable end was also rebuilt on a new alignment, and a third storey was added to the eastern half of the building. Internally, an entrance hall was created, and a new staircase added, reusing balusters from about 1700. The western first floor room has a fireplace surround and panelling dating from about 1600, and the eastern ground and first floor also have wooden panelling.The building was listed in 1954, along with its garden railings and gate posts.

Dean's Park is an urban park in York, England. It was created in the 19th century. Formerly the site of the Archbishop's Palace, during the latter part of the Middle Ages, it is located adjacent to York Minster on its northern side. Other structures nearby include Purey-Cust Lodge, in its northwestern corner, York Minster Library and York Deanery to the north, Minster Court to the northeast, and Treasurer's House to the east. York Deanery, the home of the Minster's Dean, was built in 1939.The park is accessed by four gates at various points around Minster Yard. The Minster's stone yard, which formerly stood on the site of today's park, has now moved to Deangate, on the opposite side of the Minster. During World War II, the park was excavated to house water tanks, but it has since been restored. In 1987, the arcade was rededicated as a war memorial to the dead of the world wars and 19th-century conflicts, and since 1997, it has been grade I listed.The park is managed by the Dean and Chapter of York Minster.

St William's College is a Mediaeval building in York in England, originally built to provide accommodation for priests attached to chantry chapels at nearby York Minster. It is a Grade I listed building.The college was founded in 1460 by George Neville and the Earl of Warwick to house twenty-three priests and a provost. It was named after St William of York. In 1465, work started on the present building. This courtyard structure may incorporate parts of two earlier houses. It included a great hall to the north, with a chapel to its east. The hall survives in part, but its ceiling has been lowered and the plasterwork was replaced in 1910. The posts of a screens passage also remain, the other side of which is the fireplace of the original kitchen. It has been suggested that doorways led off the courtyard to staircases, with rooms for the provost and fellows of the college leading off them. While the college was not a monastic establishment, it was affected by the Dissolution of the Monasteries, as in 1548 the building was converted to a substantial house, with later tenants including Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle. Around this time, a single main staircase was added, which survives, while a room to the south-west has remains of wall paintings from this era. In the seventeenth century, the "Bishop's Chamber" was created on the first floor, to the west of the great hall, and it survives largely intact. In the eighteenth-century, part of the ground floor was used for retail, and bow windows were added, which still survive. Otherwise, the façade generally survives as built, with an ashlar ground floor and a timber-framed, jettied upper floor. The doorway itself is a replacement, but the coats of arms above are from about 1670, and carvings of Saint Christopher and the Virgin and Child either side of the entrance also survive.
