The Old Manor House, Clifton
The Old Manor House, also known as Nell Gywnne's House, is a historic building in the Clifton area of York in England.
Two timber-framed tenement buildings, each of two storeys, were built on the site at some point between the 14th and 16th centuries. In the late 17th century, it was largely rebuilt in brick, in the Artisan Mannerist style. The rebuilding may have been due to damage during the Siege of York. A local legend claims that, when Charles II of England visited York, Nell Gwynne stayed in the house.
By the 19th century, the building housed working-class families in rooms which had been subdivided. At the start of the 20th century, the eastern part of the building was a tobacconist and barbers shop. In the 1930s, the building was converted into a single house, and the roof was entirely replaced. The house was Grade II* listed in 1954. In 1962, it was restored and partly rebuilt, the new work include the south-east wall and the window openings in the rear wall. The York Civic Trust purchased the building in 1985, but sold it as a private house in the early 21st century. In 2020, the house was placed on the market for £1.29 million.
The building is two storeys tall, with an attic above. There are two main gables on the front to the street named Clifton, and to their left, a smaller gable over the porch. Above ground floor level, the brickwork has been laid in an approximation of larger stone blocks.
Inside the building, most of the ceiling beams and joists are 16th-century. The chimney is in the centre of the building, and it has 17th-century fireplaces. The entrance door is also 17th-century, but has been moved from its original doorway. One room has an 18th-century fitted cupboard. There is a cellar under part of the house, reached down a 17th-century flight of stairs.

Ingram House
Ingram House is a historic building on the street of Bootham, York, England. It was built as an almshouse for ten poor widows between 1630 and 1632 by real estate developer and politician Sir Arthur Ingram and was originally known as Ingram's Hospital. It was damaged during the Siege of York and was restored in 1649. It is the most important mid-17th-century building in Bootham, pre-classical and composed of 11 bays of two low storeys, but with a four-storey central tower. The middle doorway dates back to the Norman period, and is believed to have once been a doorway to Holy Trinity Priory.
Charles I of England stayed at the house in 1642. It became a Grade II* listed building in 1954. In 1959, it was converted into four flats.

Queen Anne Grammar School
Queen Anne Grammar School for Girls was a single-sex state grammar school in the city of York, England. It began in 1906 as the Municipal Secondary School for Girls and was based in Brook Street. At the end of 1909 the pupils were transferred to a new 5+1⁄2-acre site in Clifton. The school was officially opened on 18 January 1910 by the Archbishop of York, Cosmo Gordon Lang.
The school's name was changed in 1920 and Queen Anne was chosen as it was situated on Queen Anne's Road. The school emblem was a sphinx underneath which was a furled ribbon reading the school motto Quod Potui Perfeci.
The school became a co-educational comprehensive in 1985 and was renamed Queen Anne School. It closed in June 2000 and in 2001 St Olave's School moved to the site.
