The Saints and Sinners Tour looks at the history of York through the eyes of those who shaped it.
Meet the King, the Bishop, the Highwayman, the Chocolatier, the Martyr, the Terrorist, the Emperor, and the Artist.
Do you know their names? What do you know about their lives? Where can you find their traces in the city? Were they saints… Or sinners..?
I am your guide: Irene, an art historian born in Madrid and living in York for the last eight years.
Join me on a fascinating walk around York to discover all this and more!
