10 Minster Yard (officially listed as part of Minster Song School) is a historic building at the corner of Minster Yard and Minster Gates in the city of York, England. A Grade II listed building, it dates to around 1763.[1] It formed part of the now-closed Minster School and was built as the home of John Fountayne, the dean of York.[2] Behind it stands 10 Minster Gates, built around 1755 for Fountayne and leased to William Darwin, the verger.[3]
It is almost a century older than the other buildings to its rear, Nos. 2–8 Minster Gates,[4] which do not follow the same alignments as 10 Minster Yard and 10 Minster Gates.[1]
