York's Other Castle (Baile Hill)

Watch as we go outside in the city of York to look at Baile Hill. This unassuming mound is all that remains of the city's second castle, an unusual structure dating to the very earliest years of the Norman period.
Special thanks to The Friends of York Walls for helping maintain the city's history, as well as the Jorvik Viking Centre and Bork the Viking for making a cameo.

Great story well told. Loved the video too, thank you. Also, I'm a rare fan Archbishop Melton as he has appeared in my tales too 😁
