The Adams House, York

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.

56–60 Low Petergate is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1500 as a terrace of five houses on the north-east side of Low Petergate, for John Stockdale. It is of three storeys, and is five bays long, with timber framing and a jettied front. In about 1630, it was redivided into the current three properties, with chimneys and an attic storey added, and extensions at the rear of each property. In the early-19th century, 56 Low Petergate was refronted in brick, while further brick extensions were added to the rear of 58 and 60 Low Petergate. The bay windows at the front of 58 and 60 Low Petergate date from around 1800, and the shopfront of 56 is also 19th-century, the other buildings having 20th-century shopfronts.Inside, some early fixtures and fittings survive, including the 17th-century top section of the staircase in 56, and there is a 17th-century plaster overmantel on the first floor, displaying the Stuart coat of arms. There is also a 17th-century cupboard door on the second floor, while other doors date from the 18th-century. In 58, there is a ground floor room with 18th-century panelling, and on the first floor there is an 18th-century overmantel, while in 60, there is a first floor room with 18th-century panelling.The building was grade II* listed in 1954.

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.

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.

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.
