York, All Saints Pavement

All Saints Pavement is a local landmark due to its striking octagonal 15th century lantern tower. In the medieval period a lantern was hung from the tower to act as a beacon for travellers in the Forest of Galtres to the north. The church, first mentioned in the Domesday Book, is the burial place of 34 Lord Mayors. Look for the 12th century door knocker depicting the Mouth of Hell.
