12 The Shambles is a historic building in York, England.
A building was constructed on the site in about 1400, probably being T-shaped and set a little off the street. In the late 15th century, a new three-storey building was constructed in front of the existing house. In the 16th century, the front part of the rear building was replaced with a two-storey building with attics, adjoining the front block.1256677 12 and 12A, Shambles II* 16 October 2021https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/york/vol5 An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in City of York, Volume 5, Central 1981 Her Majesty's Stationery Office London 212-220 Houses: Shambles-The Stonebow 6 June 2020 British History Online
In the early 18th century, the building was refronted in brick, removing the jettying of the timber framed structure. The building was further altered in the 19th century. In the 20th century, work at the rear removed the last remnants of the building from 1400, and a new shopfront was added on the ground floor, facing onto The Shambles. In 1954, it was Grade II* listed.
As of 2020, the building is occupied by York Vikings,York Vikings https://www.visityork.org/business-directory/york-vikings 2023-01-26 Visit York en-GB with Guest Walker & Co Solicitors on the upper floors at 12A.
