29 Marygate is a historic house on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The only house on the south-eastern side of Marygate, it incorporates part of the early-14th century wall of St Mary's Abbey. The current building also incorporates small parts of an earlier house, of unknown date. The house was built in the early 18th century. It was converted into offices in the 20th century, and was Grade II* listed in 1954. The house has three storeys, plus a basement and attic. It is narrow from front to back, and has just two rooms on each floor. The abbey wall is built of Magnesian Limestone, while the rest of the house has a stone ground floor and brick upper storeys, with a slate roof. The front has an early door and doorcase, with a radial fanlight above. Most windows are sashes, but some have been blocked, with the southwestern rooms on the upper floors instead lit by bay windows in the gable end. There is also a blocked doorway, in which a reused font has been placed.Inside the house, many original features survive, including the main staircase, a first floor fireplace with decoration by Thomas Wolstenholme, and a decorated second-floor grate. One adjoining doorway into the former almonry of the abbey has been converted into a cupboard.

Marygate is a street in York, England, running just north of the city centre. Built in the Middle Ages, it gets its name from St Mary's Abbey and the Viking word "gata," meaning street. The area where the street lies was outside the walls of the Roman city of Eboracum, and represented the northern limit of the settlement; to the north, the land was used only for burials. The street runs south-west, from Bootham, down to the River Ouse.

54 Bootham is a historic building on Bootham, a street running north from the city centre of York, in England. The house was built in about 1840. In 1907, W. H. Auden was born in the house. It was Grade II* listed in 1954. Around this time, it was converted to offices. It was later purchased by the York Conservation Trust, and by the 2020s was rented to HPH Accountants. The front of the three-storey building is constructed of white brick, a popular material at the time, which has become grey over time. It is five bays wide, with the central bay projecting forward, as do the pilaster strips at the left and right of the building. The windows are sashes, and the central first floor window has an architrave. There are also two dormer windows in the attic. The door is under a Doric porch. The rear of the building is constructed of red brick, and there is a central projection, which houses toilets, accessed from the half-landings of the staircase. There are paired chimneys on each gable end of the roof. Inside, the original hall and staircase survive, along with some plasterwork and doorcases. Early cast iron railings on stone copings surround the basement.

Bootham Lodge is a historic building, lying on Bootham, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed as a house, with work starting in 1840, and completed in 1845. It was built for Thomas Walker, a local solicitor, at the same time as its similar neighbour, 54 Bootham. Its original kitchen was in the basement, but a new kitchen was added at the rear soon after the building was constructed.In the 20th century, the building was converted to offices, and for many years it served as the headquarters of the Flaxton Rural District, then of the Ryedale district, also housing its council chamber. It was later taken over by York City Council, to house its office for births, deaths and marriages. In 2003, it was purchased by the York Conservation Trust and renovated, to become the city's register office. A new extension was added at the rear, to serve as a wedding room, with French doors leading into the newly landscaped garden, designed to act as a backdrop for wedding photography. The upper floors are leased out, separately from the ground, as offices. The three-storey building is built of brick, broadly in the typical style of a Victoria villa. There are single-storey wings to the left and right of the building, the one to the left containing a carriage entrance. Its main entrance is under a porch, in the Tuscan order, which supports a balcony, with an iron balustrade manufactured by the local John Walker foundry. The railings in front of the building are original, and also by John Walker, with heads in an organic style.Inside, there is a central hall, with a large fireplace, moved from the first floor. There are two staircases, each with iron balusters and mahogany handrails. The fireplaces and plasterwork were designed by Francis Wostenholme.The building and its railings were Grade II listed in 1954.

53 and 55 Bootham is a historic building on Bootham, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed as a single house in about 1765, probably to a design by John Carr. In about 1770, it was divided to form a pair of houses. Early in the 19th century, 55 Bootham was extended to the left. In 1923, the house was purchased by Bootham School, which came to use it as offices. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954.The building is constructed of brick, with stone and stucco dressings, and a slate roof. The main part of the front is symmetrical, with three main storeys, an attic and a cellar, and it is five bays wide. The brickwork of the top floor is different to that of the lower floors, suggesting that it may be a later addition. A porch in a Greek Doric style covers the twin entrance doors, which each lead into an entrance hall, which widens to accommodate a staircase; that in 53 Bootham has been removed, but the original staircase in 55 Bootham survives. Much of the original cornice survives, as does one fireplace. The extension has an additional external door, which leads to a passageway.

St Olave's House is a historic building on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York in England. The building's origins lie in the early 17th century, but the oldest parts of the current building date from the later part of the century. In the late 18th century, a separate building was erected behind the left-hand part of the building, which in the early 19th century was joined to St Olave's House, and incorporated into the building, with a chimney and bay window added. In about 1900, the front to Marygate was rebuilt. The house was Grade II listed in 1997. It was sold for £1,450,000 in 2019, for £2,250,000 in 2021, and placed on the market for £2.75 million in 2023. At the time, it was marketed as "York's best address", with an unusually large plot for its location, six bedrooms, and a walled garden.The house is built of brick, painted at the front, with the front roof being slate while the other roofs are pantile. It is of two storeys, with an attic, the front having a shallow porch, a two-storey bay window to the left, timber eaves with ceramic tiles depicted rosettes with leaves, and two dormer windows. The back of the north wing has an original gable, with a single-storey modern extension in front. Inside, most fittings are from the 18th and 19th centuries. The front right room includes part of the original fireplace, and the attic staircase is late 17th century, probably originally having been the main staircase.A two-storey octagonal gazebo lies north-west of the house, originally in its garden, but now in the garden of 6 Marygate Lane. It was built in the mid 19th century of Magnesian Limestone, with a slate roof and timber finial. The windows were replaced in the 20th century, and it was Grade II listed in 1983.

The York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England, beside the River Ouse. They cover an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the former grounds of St Mary's Abbey, and were created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society along with the Yorkshire Museum which they contain. The gardens are held in trust by the City of York Council and are managed by the York Museums Trust. They were designed in a gardenesque style by landscape architect Sir John Murray Naysmith, and contain a variety of species of plants, trees and birds. Admission is free. A variety of events take place in the gardens, such as open-air theatre performances and festival activities. There are several historic buildings in the gardens. They contain the remains of the west corner of the Roman fort of Eboracum, including the Multangular Tower and parts of the Roman walls. In the same area there is also the Anglian Tower, which was probably built into the remains of a late Roman period fortress. During the Middle Ages, the tower was expanded and the Roman walls were incorporated into York's city walls. Most of the other buildings dating from the Middle Ages are associated with St Mary's Abbey, including the ruins of the abbey church, the Hospitium, the lodge and part of the surviving precinct wall. The remains of St. Leonard's Hospital chapel and undercroft are on the east side of the gardens. The Yorkshire Philosophical Society constructed several buildings in the gardens during the 19th and early 20th century, including the Yorkshire Museum and its octagonal observatory. The museum houses four permanent collections, covering biology, geology, archaeology and astronomy.
