10 Precentor's Court is an historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. The building is a Grade II* listed structure, standing on Precentor's Court. It stands perpendicular to Fenton House at the western end of the street. Parts of the house date to the 15th century: stone walls on three sides of the building, and in the entrance hall, the arch of a fireplace. The remainder of that house was demolished in the early 18th century, when the present building was constructed, with a new brick facade facing Precentor's Court.

In about 1900, the north-west wing of the house was entirely rebuilt, and the roof of the building was raised, adding an attic. Inside the house, in the ground floor study, there are 16th-century beams, 17th-century panelling, and an 18th-century fireplace.

Around 1540, the marble and stone bases of two shrines in the Minster were dismantled and buried in what is now Precentor's Court. One was later exhumed during construction work and is ...
