Abbey Wall Tower

River Tower of St. Mary's Abbey.

Viewed from across the river.

By 1358 a wall completely surrounded St. Mary's Abbey. Remains of the wall can still be seen from this River Tower to St. Mary's Tower (paralleling Marygate), and it is partially visible behind buildings along Bootham. The exact location of the wall along the River Ouse is not known.
