Description

High Petergate towards Bootham Bar

Until the 13th century the gate was known as Galmanlith or Gate of Galmou, the name of the hill on which St. Mary's Abbey was built. In 1501 an enormous door knocker was fitted at Bootham Bar and any visiting Scots had to knock and wait for permission to enter from the Lord Mayor, the Warden or the Constable.
