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.

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.
