Part of the City's Defences
Lendal Tower dates back to the reign of Richard I (Richard the Lion Heart) and has stood next to the River Ouse since 1299.
Built as part of the City of York's new medieval wall defences - symbolic of its growing importance as England's then second city, the function of Lendal Tower (then known as St Leonard's Tower) was primarily to protect the city's river entrance in times of war.
