Anglian Tower

Photograph at the Anglian Tower black plaque

The Anglian Tower stands as a significant remnant of York's early medieval past, forming the lower section of a historic tower integrated into the city's ancient walls. This structure can be found on the south-west aspect of these walls, within the current confines of York City Library. Visitors can reach the tower on foot, with access points available from both the library grounds and the adjacent Museum Gardens, offering a tangible connection to the city's deep history.
