FPT North Wall stone labels 17112014The Friends of York Walls wish “Seasons Greetings” to all our Members, Volunteers, Friends and Supporters.

Why not give someone in your life a Unique Christmas Gift and help the Friends of York Walls to raise funds to promote York’s City Walls and to refurbish and open Fishergate Postern Tower.

You can now on-line  Sponsor a Stone for £20 (or more) on the new North Wall  or the existing West Wall.  Ideal as a gift for someone, or for a significant event or person in your life. The scheme can be used to observe a special occasion such as a birthday, a christening, a wedding, as a memorial or simply just to convey a message.

Don’t forget also our book published earlier in 2014 – “A Walking Guide to York’s City Walls”  by Simon Mattam would make an ideal Christmas present. Available at local York outlets + online suppliers. ISBN 9 780092 900205
