Friends of York Walls have raised an amazing £2,000 in just over three weeks since the official launch of the Fishergate Postern Tower Sponsor a Stone initiative! We would like to thank each and every one of our donors to date, along with all those people who have made a standard donation.

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

Follow the links to view the current state of the Sponsored Stones grid or the online Sponsors Book.

Take eight intrepid staff and volunteers from YAC and the CBA, add in Roman tunics, helmets, spears, shields, swords, a standard and a replica Roman trumpet and you have a crack Roman unit, otherwise known as a contubernium, ready to conquer six laps of York’s City Walls in aid of the Dig Deep for YAC campaign!  And conquer it they did on Wednesday 1st February!
