About Fencing in York
York was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in AD 71, later becoming Eoferwic under the Anglo Saxons and then Jorvik after Viking forces captured the city in 866, growing into a key Viking trading hub with links stretching as far as Istanbul. York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps, was built between 1220 and 1472 above 2,000 years of layered history still visible in its undercroft today.
