The York Arms is an historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. It was designed by James Pigott Pritchett.[1] Part of a seven-unit row (24–36 High Petergate) 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.[1] 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.[2]
