	We took a free tour of York. After visiting the Roman remains, we came to the King's Manor. It was originally the home of the Prior of the abbey, but after the dissolution of the monestaries under Henry VIII, it became an occasional royal residence. Charles I liked it so much he added his crest above the door.
	The courtyard of King's Manor, a Tudor-era building now used as the York University archaeology department. Earlier it was a girls school and a school for the blind.
	Bootham Bar, one of the 4 bars (gates) around the old city.
	Inside Holy Trinity Church, one of the few churches to have built-in seating.
	Holy Trinity Goodramgate is set in a small garden behind the main shopping street.
	Clifford's Tower, all that remains of York's castle.

	Dave, with the River Ouse behind him. Clifford's Tower was one of two Norman castles set up on large artificial hills. The other castle is long gone, but the mound is still visible.
