Please sponsor a stone on either the West Wall or the North Wall at Fishergate Postern Tower and help to raise funds for the repair and upkeep of FPT.

This has now been fixed – so please try entering your details again ! Any problems please email stones@yorkwalls.org.uk

In addition, for the first time in living memory (and perhaps ever), TOWER 39 (the corner tower near to FPT) will also be open to the public for the Heritage Open Weekend on 12th/13th September 2015 from 10am to 4pm.
See http://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/directory/fishergate-corner-tower and HERE for details. FREE entry & no booking necessary.
All events organised by The Friends of York Walls Volunteers. Self guided + History talks. Information, Book sales and Sponsor a Stone available. Any donations would be appreciated.
We will make every effort to make the tower presentable for this event, but we are advised that there may be bats (in the cracks in the roof), which should not be disturbed by over-vigorous cleaning. Therefore some pigeon droppings on the floor may be left alone for visitors to walk on as they look around. Please bear this in mind if you are allergic to pigeon droppings or scared of bats!
