Note 818 — Chapter VII · THE CASTLES OF THE NORMANS IN ENGLAND (continued 3)

Cooper’s York, chapters ii. and iv. 100l. was spent by the sheriff in fortifying the walls of York in the sixth year of Henry III. After this there are repeated grants for murage in the same and the following reign. There are some Early English buttresses in the walls, but the majority are later. No part of the walls contains Norman work.
