York- Great Britain
York is een stad (city) en unitary authority in het noorden van Engeland, sinds 1996 tevens een unitary authority met North Yorkshire als ceremonieel graafschap.
De vestingstad ligt aan de samenvloeiing van de Ouse en de Foss. Vooral de Ouse treedt regelmatig buiten haar oevers, waardoor de stad gedeeltelijk onder water komt te staan.
In 2001 telde de stad York zelf 137.505 inwoners. De unitary authority die sinds 1996 de naam 'City of York' draagt, en waaronder ook omliggende landelijke gebieden vallen, telde in 2007 193.300 inwoners.
In de stad staat de grootste middeleeuwse kathedraal van Noord-Europa, de Minster, die beroemd is om haar gebrandschilderde ramen. De aartsbisschop van York is de op één na belangrijkste gezagsdrager in de Anglicaanse Kerk, na de aartsbisschop van Canterbury. De huidige aartsbisschop is de in Oeganda geboren John Sentamu. Het oude stadscentrum is nog ommuurd en telt vier stadspoorten.
Bij het station York is het National Railway Museum gelegen, het grootste treinmuseum van Europa. Hier staan tientallen locomotieven en treinstellen
Geschiedenis
De stad kent een lange geschiedenis. Archeologische vondsten wijzen erop dat het gebied waar nu York ligt al zeker 7000 of 8000 jaar voor Chr. werd bewoond. De stad zelf werd echter in het jaar 71 na Chr. gesticht door de Romeinen en heette aanvankelijk Eboracum. De eerste vermeldingen van de stad stammen uit 95-104 n.Chr. Voor de Romeinen was Eboracum een belangrijke militaire basis; keizer Septimius Severus overleed er in 211; 95 jaar later stierf keizer Constantius Chlorus in Eburacum, de vader van Constantijn de Grote,die daar de titel augustus kreeg.Later kwam het gebied in handen van de Angelen, en veranderde de naam van de stad in Eoferwic. In 866 werd Eoferwic veroverd door de Vikingen, die de stad Jorvik noemden. Rond het jaar 1000 raakte de naam York in gebruik

Archaeological finds indicate that the area where 7000 or 8000 years now York is already sure BC was inhabited.

The first mentions of the city date back to 95-104 ad for the Romans Eboracum an important military base; Emperor Septimius Severus died, in 211; 95 years later Emperor Constantius Chlorus in Eburacum, the father of Constantine the great, who got the title augustus.

Georgian 1790 Antique English Grandfather Tall Case Clock Raper of Thirsk
A Georgian period grandfather or tall case clock from about 1790 has a worn signature, visible only under black light, J. Raper, Thirsk. This ancient market town of about 5,000 people is north of York in England. Originally settled about 600 BC, it is the home of veterinarian and writer, James Herriot. This maker could be a relative of the noted Sidney Raper, a clockmaker of the era in Thirsk.
The original brass movement has been professionally oiled and adjusted to keep accurate time. A winding runs a week, counting the hour on a bell. The iron dial has worn original painting, including a hunt scene and is signed on the back, Walker. Numerals are repainted, as is typical. Engraved brass hour and minute hands are original.
The mahogany case is inlaid with satinwood banding. An excellent restored finish preserves just enough mars, wear and shrinkage separations from age for a little antique patina.
Dimensions are 21 wide, 11 deep and 83 tall.
