St Sampson's Church, Medieval parish church in central York, England
St Sampson's Church features a Victorian-era structure with a west tower, two aisles, and octagonal piers supporting pointed arches throughout the building's layout.
The original church was documented in 1154, with archaeological findings revealing an 11th-century cross-shaft and Norman stone wall beneath the current structure.
The church transformed into a community center in 1974, providing social activities and services for people over 60 years old in York.
Located at 3 Church Street near York Minster, the building maintains a cafe and hosts regular events including dances and recitals for the local community.
