Year: 2011

Friends of York Walls continuing to work on improvements of Fishergate Postern Tower.

We are seeking to raise funds for this project by inviting the general public and local businesses to “Sponsor a Stone”. This major fund raising activity was officially launched in January 2012 when The Lord Mayor of York was presented with a certificate of ownership of the first stone. Sponsorship of stones on the West Wall has been available since the launch, and the North Wall was added in late 2014.

If you wish to contribute to the tower fund then please look at the Sponsor a Stone page where you can fill in an application form.
