  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. In 1068 anti-Norman sound set of defences, as the local tribe –the Brigantes – were not sentiment in the north was gathering steam around York. very friendly. However, when William marched north to quell the potential for rebellion his advance caused such alarm that he entered the city The first defences were simple: a ditch, an embankment made of unopposed.

  • Understanding Clifford's Tower
    1 Understanding Clifford's Tower An English Heritage & Historyworks Learning Event Supported by York City Council for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015 Report published by Historyworks giving summary of talks on Sunday 25th January The learning events that marked Holocaust Memorial Day and brought together the communities in York to "Understand Clifford's Tower" and "Understand the 1190 Massacre" were organized with support from English Heritage by Helen Weinstein, Director of Historyworks and involved over 150 participants for tours and talks on both afternoons on Sunday 25th and Tuesday 27th January 2015. To find the history summaries and illustrative materials for the York Castle Project which Helen Weinstein and the team at Historyworks have provided to share knowledge to support those wanting more information about the York Castle Area, please find many pages of chronological summaries about the site and descriptions of the interpretations offered by the stakeholders here: http://historyworks.tv/projects/ Professor Helen Weinstein, Organizer of Learning Events about the York Castle Area to mark HMD The afternoon of presentations was opened by Helen Weinstein, public historian and Director of Historyworks. Helen began by welcoming the large number of people that had returned from a walking tour of the castle area with an introduction to what the proceeding talks would offer. The event had been created as a result of a growing interest from the citizens of York and the wider Jewish communities outside of the city in Clifford’s Tower and its cultural and historical significance.Helen then spoke about some of the misconceptions about Jewish life in York, in 1 2 particular the belief that a Cherem had been placed on York following the 1190 massacre, forbidding people of Jewish faith to live within the city, particularly not to overnight or eat within the precincts of the City Walls.

  • This Northern England City Called York Or Jorvik, During the Viking Age, Is Quite Medieval in Terms of Cultural History
    History of York, England This northern England city called York or Jorvik, during the Viking age, is quite medieval in terms of cultural history. York is a tourist‐oriented city with its Roman and Viking heritage, 13th century walls, Gothic cathedrals, railroad station, museum‐gardens an unusual dinner served in a pub, and shopping areas in the Fossgate, Coppergate and Piccadilly area of the city. Brief History of York According to <historyofyork.org> (an extensive historical source), York's history began with the Romans founding the city in 71AD with the Ninth Legion comprising 5,000 men who marched into the area and set up camp. York, then was called, "Eboracum." After the Romans abandoned Britain in 400AD, York became known as "Sub Roman" between the period of 400 to 600AD. Described as an "elusive epoch," this was due to little known facts about that period. It was also a time when Germanic peoples, Anglo‐Saxons, were settling the area. Some archaeologists believe it had to do with devasting floods or unsettled habitation, due to a loss of being a trading center then. The rivers Ouse and Foss flow through York. <historyofyork.org> Christianity was re‐established during the Anglo‐Saxon period and the settlement of York was called "Eofonwic." It is believed that it was a commercial center tied to Lundenwic (London) and Gipeswic (Ipswich). Manufacturing associated with iron, lead, copper, wool, leather and bone were found. Roman roads made travel to and from York easier. <historyofyork.org> In 866AD, the Vikings attacked. Not all parts of England were captured, but York was.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • Creating the Slum: Representations of Poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate Districts of York, 1875-1914
    Laura Harrison Ex Historia 61 Laura Harrison1 University of Leeds Creating the slum: representations of poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate districts of York, 1875-1914 In his first social survey of York, B. Seebohm Rowntree described the Walmgate and Hungate areas as ‘the largest poor district in the city’ comprising ‘some typical slum areas’.2 The York Medical Officer of Health condemned the small and fetid yards and alleyways that branched off the main Walmgate thoroughfare in his 1914 report, noting that ‘there are no amenities; it is an absolute slum’.3 Newspapers regularly denounced the behaviour of the area’s residents; reporting on notorious individuals and particular neighbourhoods, and in an 1892 report to the Watch Committee the Chief Constable put the case for more police officers on the account of Walmgate becoming increasingly ‘difficult to manage’.4 James Cave recalled when he was a child the police would only enter Hungate ‘in twos and threes’.5 The Hungate and Walmgate districts were the focus of social surveys and reports, they featured in complaints by sanitary inspectors and the police, and residents were prominent in court and newspaper reports. The area was repeatedly characterised as a slum, and its inhabitants as existing on the edge of acceptable living conditions and behaviour. Condemned as sanitary abominations, observers made explicit connections between the physical condition of these spaces and the moral behaviour of their 1 Laura ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and recently submitted her thesis ‘Negotiating the meanings of space: leisure, courtship and the young working class of York, c.1880-1920’.

  • Early Years of the York Georgian Society
    Early Years of the York Georgian Society: Preservation, Education, Betterment and Design Katherine A. Webb This image of the Assembly Rooms was chosen as the first symbol of York Georgian Society Underneath is the distinctive signature of the first Chairman, Oliver Sheldon 1 Before the Second World War, the tall Victorian house at 6 Driffield Terrace, York, was home to Lt Col. John Acton Brooke, eldest son of John Kendall Brooke of Sibton Park in Suffolk and his wife Daphne, daughter of the late Henry Darley of Aldby Park in the North Riding of Yorkshire.1 On 24 April 1939, Mrs Brooke hosted a drawing-room meeting at her Driffield Terrace home. About twenty people were summoned, and we know that among them were Alderman J.B. Morrell and Canon Chancellor Frederick Harrison, both of whom were keenly interested in York history. Mrs Charles Needham was doubtless there, because she had helped Mrs Brooke arrange the meeting; Mrs Needham’s husband would also have been invited. Other invitations had probably gone out to a local solicitor, Lt Col. H.C. Scott, to a local consultant surgeon G.S. Hughes, to the architect J.H. Rutherford, to local historian and archivist the Rev. Angelo Raine, and to several other interested parties, including a director of Rowntree and Co. called Oliver Sheldon.2 The special guest was Rupert Alec-Smith, who had been invited to address the company on the threats then posed to Georgian architecture. Alec-Smith was the founder, and honorary secretary, of the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire, and the real purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of founding a new branch of his society in York.3 In the event, Alec-Smith’s address proved highly successful: fired with enthusiasm, the meeting concluded with the appointment of a committee.

  • The York Jewish History Trail
    The York Jewish History Trail Track 1: Introduction Welcome to the York Jewish heritage audio trail. This exploration of Jewish life in York, both in medieval times and the more contemporary past, is the product of a research project by University of York postgraduate students in conjunction with the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past. Our journey is narrated by York City Archaeologist John Oxley. The trail begins at the Visitor Information Centre on Museum Street with a brief introduction to York‟s Jewish history. The history of Jewish communities in England is a long and complex one, and the Jews of York have a special place in this story. While the massacre at Clifford‟s Tower in 1190 is the most famous episode of York‟s Jewish history it is only one part of a vibrant and fascinating story that begins nearly a thousand years ago. Jewish communities first came to Britain in significant numbers with William the Conquerors‟ Norman invasion of 1066. Jews, unlike the rest of the English population, were made direct subjects of the king; they had no feudal or financial loyalty to local landowners. This special relationship gave the king major financial benefits and, as we shall see, had a serious impact on York‟s Jewish community. It is important to remember that in stark contrast to modern attitudes charging interest on loans, or „usury‟, was considered a serious sin in the Middle Ages and was forbidden by the Church. This meant that, although there were a small number of Christian money-lenders, Christians were not supposed to lend money for profit.

  • Roman York Special Edition
    ROMAN YORK By Patrick Ottaway Published by Tempus / The History Press 2004 (ISBN 978 07524 29168) This is a special edition of the Preface, Chapter 1 and Reading List available free on the web from www.pjoarchaeology.co.uk © Patrick Ottaway 1993, 2004, 2009 Roman York , with full text and illustrations, is available from the History Press (www.thehistorypress.co.uk ) Preface to the Second Edition In the first edition of this book, published in 1993, I wrote that it was both a good time and a bad time to produce a book on Roman York. It was a good time because public and academic interest in the subject had probably never been greater, but a bad time, partly, at least, because research on most of the major archaeological excavations of what were then the previous twenty years or so was still in progress. On preparing this second edition some ten years later I felt the auguries were much more favourable because a good deal, although by no means all, of that research has been completed. For example, the great campaign of excavations under York Minster (1967-72), in which the legionary fortress headquarters and first cohort barracks were revealed, was published in 1995 by Derek Philips and Brenda Heywood. My own volume on the fortress defences ( Archaeology of York 3/3) appeared in 1996 and we also have Jason Monaghan’s wide-ranging survey of Roman pottery from York ( Archaeology of York 16/8), published in 1997, which has made available a vast body of data relating to ceramic production and trade in Eboracum , and has also allowed the critical re-evaluation of archaeological dating for the period.
