Clifford's Tower (managed by English Heritage) was built on the orders of Henry II who lived from 1216 to 1272.

He was a great builder of castles, churches and manor houses.

York Castle Clifford's Tower

York Castle, or as it is more usually known, Clifford's Tower, was built in the 13th century on a typical Norman motte or hill. It had two floors connected by spiral staircases contained within the thick castle walls.

The Chapel retains some of the best medieval architecture in Clifford's Tower. This was very much a private chapel where the King could hear mass, but it was rarely used by the visiting king and was used as a storeroom and treasury.

Traces remain of the fine stonework of the architecture of the chapel in the form of the pointed arches which stood on slender columns which are missing. The chapel stood over the main gate entrance to the castle.
