16–22 St Saviourgate
16–22 St Saviourgate

16–22 St Saviourgate is a historic terrace in the city centre of York, in England. The terrace of four houses was built in about 1740 on the south-east side of St Saviourgate. It was a high-status development, and was drawn by Nathaniel Buck in 1743, while an engraving of the terrace from 1745 also survives. Nikolaus Pevsner described it as "handsome". The houses are of varying size: 18 and 22 are three bays wide at the front, 16 is four bays wide, and 20 is six bays wide. 18 and 20 have L-shaped floor plans, although one ground floor front room of 20 St Saviourgate has more recently been incorporated into number 18. The terrace was grade II* listed in 1954. The terrace is built of orange brick with a painted stone plinth, quoins, bands and dressings, and a timber cornice and doorcases. The roof has two peaks with a valley hidden by a parapet; the front part of the roof is tiled, and the rear has pantiles. The building is three storeys high with an attic, and has five doorways at the front, the rightmost leading to a through passage. The doors and doorcases are early and variously have columns or pilasters. Most of the windows are sashes, while the dormer windows in the attic are casements. The ground floor windows have shutters. Inside number 16, there is stone flagging in the entrance hall, and dado panelling. The front ground floor room has original panelling, fireplace, frieze and cupboard doors, and the first floor rooms also have original panelling and plasterwork. Number 18 retains its original staircase and has extensive original woodwork and plasterwork. Number 22 has original cornices in many rooms, and original fireplaces and cupboard doors in the second floor and attic front rooms.

Lady Hewley's Almshouses
Lady Hewley's Almshouses

Lady Hewley's Almshouses are a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. Sarah Hewley founded almshouses on Tanner Row in 1700, run by the Lady Hewley Trust. These were demolished to allow the construction of York's original railway station, and a replacement building on St Saviourgate was completed in 1841. The construction cost £1,711. The buildings are still in use as almshouses, and are still run by the same trust.The building was designed by James Pigott Pritchett, in a Tudor Revival style. The building formerly had nine apartments and a chapel, but in 1975, the chapel was converted into an additional apartment. The front of the almshouses is of stone, and the rear of brick. The building is two storeys high, with a cellar. Its main part has nine windows on each floor, and there are wings at either end. The front has three entrance doors, while there are two doors in the right-hand facade, which overlooks Stonebow. Inside, movable panels partition the entrance halls. The original kitchen ranges survive, as do the first floor fireplaces, although these are now blocked. The warden's house has two storeys and a three bay front, and is built of stone. In the 20th century, a single-storey extension was added to the right of the building. There is a tablet in the end wall, moved from the original building, which records its foundation. The buildings were Grade II listed in 1954; the gate piers and railings also form part of the listing.

York

York is a cathedral city in North Yorkshire, England, with Roman origins, sited at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss. It is the historic county town of Yorkshire. The city has many historic buildings and other structures, such as a minster, castle, and city walls. It is the largest settlement and the administrative centre of the wider City of York district. The city was founded under the name of Eboracum in 71 AD. It then became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria, and Scandinavian York. In the Middle Ages, it became the northern England ecclesiastical province's centre, and grew as a wool-trading centre. In the 19th century, it became a major railway network hub and confectionery manufacturing centre. During the Second World War, part of the Baedeker Blitz bombed the city; it was less affected by the war than other northern cities, with several historic buildings being gutted and restored up to the 1960s.The city is one of 15 in England to have a lord mayor, and one of three to have The Right Honourable title affixed, the others being London's and Bristol's. Historic governance of the city was as a county corporate, not included in the county's riding system. The city has since been covered by a municipal borough, county borough, and since 1996 a non-metropolitan district (the City of York), which also includes surrounding villages and rural areas, and the town of Haxby. The current district's local council is responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout this area. The city had a population of 153,717 in the 2011 census; the wider district had a population of 198,100. According to 2021 census data, the wider district has a population of 202,800, a 2.4% increase compared to the 2011 census.
