Description
The City Walls attached to Tower Place in York is a Grade I listed defensive wall, likely built in the late 13th century. It is made of magnesian limestone ashlar and extends approximately 60 metres northeast, forming the southern boundary of Tower Place. The wall stands about 2 to 3 metres high and features an embattled parapet. There is a cruciform arrow slit facing No.9 Tower Place, also known as Davy Tower, and a weathered buttress next to No.2 Tower Place. On the inner side of the wall, a narrow section of the original wallwalk remains behind the parapet. Originally, the wall connected Davy Tower on the riverbank to Castlegate Postern, which was demolished in 1826.
