One of England’s most famous landmarks has a dark secret. I went to Clifford’s Tower in York to find out why this massive stone cylinder is still standing after 800 years of people trying to knock it down.
Join me, Misti, as I explore the baffling history of Clifford’s Tower. We are looking at everything from William the Conqueror’s original wooden fort to the stone fortress that witnessed a tragic and largely forgotten massacre in 1190.
Whether you are here for the medieval architecture, the panoramic views of York, or just want to see an American navigate narrow stone stairs: this is the documentary for you.
