Church Cottages, York
Church Cottages is a terrace of timber-framed houses, in the city centre of York, in England.
The terrace dates from the late 15th century. It runs along All Saints Lane, its gable end being on North Street. It faces All Saints' Church, and is likely to have been owned by the church since its construction. It is four bays long; the two south-eastern bays each form the basis of a house, while the two smaller north-western bays are deeper and together form a third house. The two fronts facing the streets are jettied. The terrace has two storeys and a king post roof truss, which can be seen in the gable end; like the rest of the walls, the timber is infilled with brick.
Although no original windows survive, there is an 18th-century oriel window, and the other windows are 19th-century sashes. Each property has an 18th-century fireplace. The staircases are replacements, and are steep, similar in form to a ladder.
From the 1920s to the 1960s, the north-western property was used as a shop. Once it closed, the building sat empty for several years until it was modernised as part of a general renovation of the street. A passage to the rear yard through the rear part of the north-western bays being filled in. The work was completed in 1974, and the property has since been residential.
The Press described the terrace as being "not a particularly famous building: but it is very distinctive". It has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

The Old Rectory, Tanner Row
The Old Rectory is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was constructed in about 1600, possibly as a warehouse, on the south side of Tanner Row. In the late 17th century, a chimney stack was inserted, and this probably represents its conversion into a house. The building was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries; in 1937, a new staircase from Alne House was inserted, this having been constructed in about 1640. At the time, it served as the rectory to All Saints' Church, North Street; the rector, Patrick Shaw, incorrectly claimed that the building had been constructed in 1498, and inscribed that date in plaster on the rear of the building. In the 1970s, the house was instead occupied by the vicar of St Mary Bishophill Junior. In 1954, the building was Grade II* listed.
The building is timber-framed, with three bays, and two storeys plus an attic. It does not appear to have originally had any internal partitions, supporting the theory that it was built as a warehouse. On the Tanner Row front, it is jettied at both the first floor and eaves levels, with the eaves being gabled. It is now accessed through a passageway which leads through neighbouring 7 Tanner Row, although that house is of later date. The windows are all sashes, with the attic one dating to about 1700. The right facade has three original window openings and one a later insertion, although the ground floors windows are now blocked. The timber framing is exposed through much of the building.

1 Tanner Row
1 Tanner Row is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was originally constructed in the late 15th century, as a Wealden hall house, which by the date was a common design in South East England, but rare in York. No. 1 Tanner Row and the Wealden Hall, also in the city, are the two northernmost surviving examples of Wealden halls. As built, it had a large open hall, with a two-storey block on the east, and another to the west which could not be accessed from the hall.
In the 17th century, the hall and the east block were divided to form two tenements. As part of the conversion, a floor was added to divide the hall vertically, and it was extended to jetty out, matching the east and west blocks. A central chimney and two staircases were also added. The building was refronted in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, the west block became vacant, and it was demolished in 1929. Around this time, the roof of the remaining part of the building was replaced. Although it became vacant in the mid-20th century, it was restored in the early 1970s, and again in 1991, to serve as offices. In 1971, it was Grade II* listed.
The building is timber framed and is now all two storeys tall. It lies on the corner of Tanner Row and North Street, and there is a decorated beam at the corner. The original doorway, now altered, is in the middle of the North Street facade, and to its right are a 19th-century door and large window. To the south, the building now adjoins another house, and the dividing wall has been rebuilt in brick. Inside, much of the timber framing survives, as does one 17th-century staircase.
