York Deanery is an historic building in York, England. It has been designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England.[1] The property is located around 400 feet (120 m) to the north of York Minster, on Minster Yard, and behind York Minster Library.
The building, designed in the neo-Georgian style by architects Rutherford and Syme (one of their final works),[2][3] is of red brick with ashlar dressings. It has a plain-tile hipped roof, with four chimney stacks.[1] It replaced an earlier residence of the Dean of York.[4]
The front gate of the property, which opens out onto the cul-de-sac that makes up the northern end of Minster Yard, is topped by the coats of arms of the Diocese of York.[4]
