Oliver Sheldon House

In the late 16th century, a block was added to the rear, the design of which is tentatively attributed by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) to William Garbutt.

In 1961, the whole building was donated to the York Civic Trust, which commissioned Francis Johnson to restore it as flats, the work being complete in 1969.

[1] The trust named the property after Oliver Sheldon, who had been a leading figure in the organisation.

The half-landing, in the middle of the staircase, has a wooden floor which the RCHME describe as "exceptional".

One rear ground floor room has an early-17th century ceiling, and a fireplace surround which was moved from 27 Trinity Lane in 1969.
