Clifford's Tower stands on York Castle’s mound or motte built by William the Conqueror, while the castle’s courtyard is now occupied by a museum and Law Courts. The Tower witnessed the tragic end of the Jews of York in 1190. The castle’s dungeon hosted prominent criminals throughout the centuries, including Dick Turpin. This day-course will explore the history of Clifford's Tower and the Castle of York, through medieval sources and present day buildings. It will end with a short visit to the Castle area.
