St Chad's Church, sometimes known as St Chad on the Knavesmire, is a parish church in the South Bank area of York, in England. In the early 20th century, the South Bank area fell within the parish of St Clement's Church, but it had a small mission church on South Bank Avenue. A church building on Campleshon Road was planned as a memorial to G. Argles, rector of St Clement's. The building was designed by Walter Brierley. Construction started in 1925, but was unfinished when Brierley died the following year. A vestry was added to the building in 1928, when the church was given its own parish. The church was finally completed by Francis Johnson in 1966, with only about half the original plan having been constructed. The building was Grade II listed in 2004. The building is constructed of concrete, with brick facades, and a concrete roof vault. The main part of the church consists of a single space, serving as both nave and chancel, with side aisles, a narthex at the west end, with stairs leading to an organ gallery, and a chapel at the east end. There is a tower at the north-west; this incorporates a porch. The tower has a flat roof and has a brick niche containing a statue of Saint Chad. Externally, the building is divided into bays by full-height buttresses, and the walls are topped with a parapet of moulded brick. There is a priest's doorway at the south-east corner, with its own small tower. The windows are lancets, arranged at the west end in multiple tiers.Inside, the nave and chancel are divided by a screen, with piers which support a piscina and aumbry. The pulpit is hexagonal and was constructed in 1940.

The by then University of Law moved its north-east campus to Leeds in the 2010s and sold the site.

St Edward the Confessor's Church is an Anglican church in Dringhouses, a suburb of York in England. During the Mediaeval period, Dringhouses fell within the parish of Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate, but the local parishioners preferred to worship at St Stephen's Church, Acomb, which was closer. In about 1472, a chapel was constructed in the village, dedicated to Saint Helen, on the site later occupied by the library. It was demolished in 1725, and a new chapel was built on the opposite side of the main road, of which only the foundations survive. Between 1847 and 1849, the current church was built, immediately south-west of its predecessor. It was designed by Vickers and Hugall, and was intended to resemble the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, Littlemore, as it was funded by Mrs Trafford Leigh, who supported the Oxford Movement. An organ was installed in 1868, and a chancel screen designed by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1892. The vestry was enlarged in 1902, and the spire was taken down and replaced by a fibreglass replica in 1970. The building was grade II listed in 1983. The church is built of limestone, with green slate roofs. It consists of a four-bay nave, a lower chancel, and a north porch. The west wall has diagonal buttresses, and a further central buttress, flanked by two-light Geometrical windows. Atop the gable is a four-sided bell turret, set diagonally, with a clock facing north-west, and pointed bell openings above. The porch has a statue of Edward the Confessor. The interior is painted and gilded, with a floor of Minton tiles. Inside, the octagonal stone pulpit and font survive, along with wooden pews and choir stalls. The stained glass is by William Wailes. In the vestry there is a white and grey marble monument to Samuel Francis Barlow, dating from 1800, which was moved from the previous chapel.

Bishopsbarns is a historic house in south-west York, in England. The house lies on St George's Place, near the Knavesmire. It was designed by the architect Walter Brierley as his own house, and was completed in 1905. Brierley commissioned George Percy Bankart to design the house's plasterwork, and Gertrude Jekyll to design the garden. Clive Aslet described the building as showing Brierley "at his best", with "great care... taken over the craftmanship". Brierley took the house's name from the fact that the site had previously been occupied by barns belonging to the See of York. The house is in the Tudor revival style, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. It is of two storeys, and is built of handmade bricks, which are only two inches thick. The roofs are covered in handmade tile, and incorporate dormer windows, bringing light into the attics. The woodwork is all of oak. There are wings at the left and right sides of the building, each in a similar style. The majority of the windows have mullions and transoms, and some have small panes in a diamond lattice. The back of the house has a single storey, with a loggia.Inside, the house retains its original decoration. The entrance hall is covered in Delft tiles, collected by Brierley, while the other halls are panelled. The dining room has its original wallpaper, and both dining and drawing rooms have decorative plastered ceilings, and stone fireplaces. The ceiling in the drawing room is barrel vaulted, and is modelled on one in Pinkie House in Musselburgh. The original light fittings also survive, on the ground floor.The garden is enclosed by a brick wall. Lawrence Weaver stated that "there can be nothing but praise, for though it is small the best use has been made of the available space", and praised Jekyll's planting, providing interest throughout the year, and use of yew hedging. There is a forecourt, which is cobbled with stones taken from the beach at Flamborough. The garden was restored in the early 2010s.The house was Grade II* listed in 1983. In 2015, the house was placed on the market for £2.4 million. The Press later reported that it was the first house in the city to sell for more than £2 million.
