10–11 The Shambles is a historic pair of buildings in York, England. Grade II* listed buildings, they are located on The Shambles.[1]
Originally one building, it was the 16th-century home of Margaret Clitherow, who was executed as a recusant in 1586 and canonised in 1970.[1]
The buildings are two storeys with brick walls at the front and rear (the former rebuilt in the early 1800s). The original building was divided into two tenements around 1730. They were renovated internally around 60 years later, a process that included the installation of two new staircases to the first floor.[2]
The buildings were modernised in 1956, including the removal of two staircases featuring Chinese fret balustrades, but some of the original timber framing still exists. The roof at the rear is partly 15th-century.[2]
As of 2018, the buildings were occupied by The Potions Cauldron (jokingly as 9¾ Shambles, in reference to the Harry Potter series) and British Wool & Cashmere.[3]
