CLIFFORD’S TOWER, YORK.

By FRANK HAES.

Among the many memories that cluster round York, none is sadder than
the calamity which befel the York Jewry in 1190. Clifford’s Tower,
the scene of the terrible incident, is not among the spots usually visited
by sightseers. Of the many thousands who halt in York for hours,
to visit the splendid Cathedral, or the small but interesting churches;
to walk on the fine old walls, all round the city; to visit the bars and
gates and inspect the many fine old houses, the beautiful grounds of the
Philosophical Society, with the Museum filled with relics of the Roman
occupation;—few ever think of seeing Clifford’s Tower in the Castle
grounds, or trouble to gain access to it.

York is indeed a place where several days may be well spent with
profit and pleasure to those interested in the past history of England.
Here may be seen what I believe is the only Barbican extant in
England. The Guildhall, the quaint old streets, Spurrier’s Gate,
Parliament Street, the pleasant walk by the banks of the sluggish
Ouse, the beautiful old glass in the Cathedral, the priests’ college
at its eastern end, the many gardens enclosed by the walls, all tempt
one to linger and to take observations from different aspects.

The day brings its changing effects of light and shade, but for the
Jewish visitor everything is dominated by Gilford’s Tower. This
building is in the grounds of the old Castle, of which nothing else
remains. The site is now occupied by the Law Courts and the Prison,
with a large open space in the enclosure.

For permission to visit the Tower, application must be made to the
Governor of the Prison, and this is courteously given. The Tower is, in
its plan, unique in England, and its structure can be best understood
from the accompanying illustration of the ground plan as given in

clifford’s tower, york.

231 

Fragmenta Vetusta, York, 1807. The other three pictures are repro-
duced from my own photographs made in 1894 or 1895. They represent
the Exterior of the Tower in its present condition, the Interior-of the
Tower, and the Chapel over the Entrance Gate.

In Mr. Joseph Jacobs’”Jews of Angevin England,” page 123, may
be found a view of the Tower from an old engraving of 1684. It must
have much resembled this in earlier centuries, though I am compelled
to say that it is doubtful whether any of the identical building of
Richard I.’s day was even then extant. Nor can one assert with
confidence that the small chamber supposed to be the scene of the
massacre is the actual site of the disaster. Still the place cannot but
excite interest, and hence the photographs are here reproduced.

The Tower stands on the top of a steep conical hill. The old illus-
tration shows a dry moat and a drawbridge. The Tower is very close
to the river, and may at some period have possessed a wet moat, for an
old engraving shows water quite close to it.

Here the Jews of York took refuge when the massacres occurred
throughout England in 1190. The besiegers of the Tower were led
by Richard Malebysse, but it is unnecessary to re-tell the sad tale.
Sufficient to recall that when the mob gained access to the Tower,
they found not a single soul alive. Among the martyrs was Rabbi
Yomtob of Joigny, whom Mr. Jacobs ingeniously identified with the
author of a fine Penitential Hymn which occurs in the German Rite
for the Eve of the Day of Atonement (the hymn opening àîðí ëï). In
a Bodleian MS., however, the hymn begins with these lines:

‘åí éåí éãøùå ìê. èåá ìèòåæ ‘ ‘äé òæ ‘ îìåìã ñìçúé

ñìç ìðå àáéðå ëé çèàðå ìê ‘ àîðí ëï åëå,

Mr. Zangwill thus renders the lines : 

Day by day 

Stronghold they  

Seek in Thee 

Good One! let 

Stronger yet 

Thy word be 

“ Forgiven.” 

In this rendering (Jacobs, op. cit., p. Ill) the extra lines appear at
the end of the hymn, but in the MS. they occur at the beginning.
“Good Day” is obviously a play on the Hebrew name “Yom-Tob”
(which signifies Good-day), and thus if Mr. Jacobs’ probable identi-

232 

clifford’s tower, york. 

fication be accepted, one of the heroic martyrs of York has left his
impress on the prayer-book. The Bodleian MS. belongs, as Mr.
Cowley kindly informs me, to the oldest part of the collection, but there
is no record of its previous history.

Dr. King, in his Monumento, Antiqua, malees no doubt that the
original Tower was one of the Castles built by William I., as mentioned
by Stow in his Annals about the year 1068. The building is now a
mere shell, thanks to an explosion of the magazine, which occurred on
the Festival of St. George, in 1648.
