🏰St Mary’s Tower (c.1324) is a prominent feature on the corner of Bootham and Marygate
⚔️Built to defend St Mary’s Abbey and it's occupants, the circular structure suffered severe damage in the Siege of 1644 when a mine was exploded underneath by Parliamentarian forces attacking York
👑Fierce fighting followed in the abbey grounds until Royalist troops drove the enemy back, killing or capturing 300 of them

⛪A hidden treasure, Holy Trinity Goodramgate is perhaps York’s least restored church
⛏️In existence by the late 11th century, most of the current structure dates mainly from the late medieval period
🙏Rare box pews inside from the 17th-19th centuries provided privacy for worshippers and helped keep drafts out on cold days

🤩History can be found at almost every turn in York
✝️Outside the city walls is Clementhorpe- an area believed to have acquired its name from the church dedicated to St Clements- later incorporated into a Benedictine nunnery, founded in the 12c
⛪Only a small segment of stone wall survives from the nunnery, which was suppressed in 1536
