York Arms


The York Arms is an historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. It was designed by James Pigott Pritchett. Part of a seven-unit row that is a Grade II listed structure dating to 1838, it faces south at 26 High Petergate. These units are sandwiched between early-18th-century properties. The rear of the properties to the north, on Precentor's Court, are also part of the listing. They were originally residences for canons of the adjacent York Minster.

High Petergate elevation

The southern side, on High Petergate, is a seven-unit terrace. The York Arms occupied number 26. It closed in the summer of 2019 and became involved in a High Court legal action.

Precentor's Court elevation

John Knowles, a lodging-house keeper, was living at 1 Precentor's Court, on the northern side of the properties, in 1872.
