The Martyrdoms at Clifford’s Tower 1190 and 1537

This important book by John Rayne-Davis linking Jewish and Catholic martyrdoms in York was launched at The Bar Convent on Wed March 14th at 7.30 pm, on the eve of the annual Clifford’s Tower Commemoration. The event was supported by the Lord Mayor of York, the CEO of the Liberal Jews in the UK and a representative of the Catholic Bishop of Middlesbrough. John Rayne-Davis gave a short talk outlining the background of both Martyrdoms which was followed by a broad discussion off bigotry and its growth in the 21st Centaury. The Martyrdoms at Clifford’s Tower 1190 and 1537 is available from the website and from The Bar Convent gift shop.
