Of 52 Yorkshire inns scheduled by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the past year as being outstanding historic or architectural importance, 27 are situated in York.
Fifteen of York's inns have been placed on the statutory list, meaning that they cannot be demolished or altered without notice, and the remainder of the 27 are on the supplementary list, and will be preserved as long as other and wider interests are not unduly affected.

They have little historical or architectural merit and, in recent years, have been considerably altered.";
