The Castle Massacre | Clifford's Tower Pt 1
York After Dark
Friday, 4 September 2026 - 11 minutes
Perched atop its iconic grassy mound, Clifford’s Tower looks like a peaceful historic landmark. But in March of 1190, it was the site of one of the most horrific anti-Semitic massacres in medieval history. In Part 1 of this two-part series on York After Dark, we explore the terrifying mob siege, the tragic fire inside the wooden keep, and the chilling legend of the stone walls that "weep" blood on the anniversary.
