10–11 The Shambles
10–11 The Shambles is a historic pair of buildings in York, England. Grade II* listed buildings, they are located on The Shambles.
Originally one building, it was the 16th-century home of Margaret Clitherow, who was executed as a recusant in 1586 and canonised in 1970.
The buildings are two storeys with brick walls at the front and rear (the former rebuilt in the early 1800s). The original building was divided into two tenements around 1730. They were renovated internally around 60 years later, a process that included the installation of two new staircases to the first floor.
The buildings were modernised in 1956, including the removal of two staircases featuring Chinese fret balustrades, but some of the original timber framing still exists. The roof at the rear is partly 15th-century.
As of 2018, the buildings were occupied by The Potions Cauldron (jokingly as 9¾ Shambles, in reference to the Harry Potter series) and British Wool & Cashmere.

7–8 The Shambles
7–8 The Shambles is a historic pair of buildings in York, England. Grade II* listed buildings dating to the early and late 15th century, they are located on The Shambles.
No. 8 is the older house, and was built in the early 1400s. It originally had one room on each of its three storeys, with a courtyard behind, but in the 16th century, the yard was infilled with a two-storey extension. In about 1700, the extension was reduced in length, and a further extension was added, which included a kitchen. In the 19th century, the level of the second floor was raised.
No. 7 was built in the late 1400s, filling the space between No. 8 and a now-demolished building. Like No. 8, it is of three storeys, each of which is jettied. Each floor is divided into three rooms, one behind another, although the position of the partitions has been altered over time. In the 18th century, the rearmost bay of the building was shortened. Inside, there is a 17th-century chimney breast, built of brick, and much of the original timber framing survives. The fireplace on the first floor is original.
Both buildings have been converted into shops, with an office on the top floor. Since 2002, the shops have been occupied by Monk Bar Chocolatiers.
