The Mansion House is an elegant Georgian building that has been the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York since the early 18th century. It is the first house in England to be built expressly for a Lord Mayor. The mansion was established in part because the city council thought that the Lord Mayor ought to have an impressive house to "Keep up the grandeur and dignity of the City" by holding at least two public dining days each week.

Skidby Windmill is the last working windmill in Yorkshire. It was built in 1821 and is still in operation. At one time the landscape of Yorkshire was dotted with mills; over 200 existed at one point, but gradually they fell out of use in favour of mechanised means of grinding grain. Now only the mill at Skidby remains, a reminder of a way of life going back centuries.

In 1457 Henry VI granted York Minster a license to establish a college of chantry priests here, in the lee of the Minster church. The foundation was delayed by the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses, but in 1461 Edward IV confirmed the grant, and a college of 23 fellows was established, though construction of the college building did not actually start until 1465. The college was dedicated to St William, great-grandson of William the Conqueror, Archbishop of York in 1154, and York's own native saint.
