Wealden Hall, York
The Wealden Hall is a grade I listed building on Goodramgate in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was constructed in about 1500. It is a Wealden hall house, which by the date was a common design in South East England, but rare in York. The Wealden Hall and 1 Tanner Row, also in the city, are the two northernmost surviving examples of Wealden halls.
Using the standard Wealden hall design, the building originally had a central hall, with double storey bays either side. In this case, the design was end-on to the street, and, unusually, only the front bays were jettied. In front of the hall, a three-storey range was constructed to face the street. Remain of two windows survive from the original construction, although they were originally unglazed and probably closed with shutters. The rear never had any openings, suggesting that it may have directly abutted another structure. The size of the house, and its jettying, suggests that it was built for a wealthy owner.
From the 16th-century on, many alterations were made to the building: new walls and chimneys were added, attics were constructed, and a first floor was inserted into the hall. The front of the building was plastered, probably in 1700, a date which is now inscribed on the front of the building. The eastern part of the front range became a separate building, now The Snickleway Inn.
In 1930, the building was bought by Cuthbert Morrell, for restoration, which was conducted by the architect Harvey Rutherford. Among other changes, he restored the hall to its former dimensions, and removed the plaster from the street front, to reveal the timber framing. The building now belongs to the York Conservation Trust and houses shops, with offices above. It has also been used for exhibitions, like one in 2012 focusing on the culture of homelessness in the city.

64 and 66 Low Petergate
64 and 66 Low Petergate is a Grade II* listed building, in the city centre of York, in England.
The building lies on Low Petergate, which has long been one of the major streets in York city centre. The oldest part of the building is the south-east wing, which dates from the 15th century. This was part of a house which was owned by the Talbot family in the 16th century, and they added a two-storey structure on the north-east side of the wing, which has been reduced over time to a small, single-storey section. In the 17th century, the neighbouring 62 Low Petergate became the Talbot Inn, one of the main coaching inns in the city, and it may have extended into what is now Nos. 64 and 66. The 15th-century walls were mostly rebuilt, and a new staircase was added, now known as the Talbot Stairs, and a new wing was added to the north-west. All this section of the building is timber-framed, and has been heavily restored.
In 1743, the front of the building was rebuilt. The new front was three storeys tall, and five bays wide. The upper floor windows survive, as does the top of a drainpipe, dated 1743, two fireplaces, a door, and two staircases. The ground floor has been replaced with 20th-century plate glass shopfronts.
In the 20th century, the building formed part of the York College for Girls. This closed in 1997, and the building was restored in 2007. The front part of its ground floor serves as two shops, while the upper floors are residential.
