Macabre history but beautiful tower
The Red Tower的点评
点评：One of the joys of York of which there are many is walking the wonderful York City Walls, along the walls are many interesting gateways and structures ,one of the most fascinating is The Red Tower.
The Red Tower was constructed between 1490-1491 ,the tower gets its name not from the colour of the bricks or tiles used in the construction of this building but by a very macabre incident that occurred during the building of The Red Tower, the stonemasons who were considered the highest order of builders looked down with contempt on the tilers who roofed The Red Tower, an incident that led to a tiler being murdered by two stonemasons gave the tower its name ,unbelievably the stonemasons were found not guilty ,over the centuries the tower fell into disrepair and lay in ruins ,there were tentative efforts to repair the tower that came to nothing until architect G.F Jones between 1857-1858 restored the tower to its original state, its a beautiful building to view,most definitely well worth checking out if you're walking around York City Walls and easy to locate along Foss Islands Road.

翻译：约克的乐趣之一（当然还有许多其他乐趣）就是漫步于壮丽的约克城墙。城墙沿线有许多有趣的城门和建筑，其中最引人入胜的当属红塔。
红塔建于1490年至1491年间。它的名字并非源于建造过程中所用砖瓦的颜色，而是源于建造过程中发生的一起骇人听闻的事件。当时被视为最高等级的石匠们对负责铺设屋顶的瓦匠抱有轻蔑之心。最终，两名石匠残忍地杀害了一名瓦匠，红塔也因此得名。令人难以置信的是，这两名石匠最终被判无罪。几个世纪以来，红塔年久失修，沦为废墟。人们曾多次尝试修复红塔，但都无果而终。直到1857年至1858年间，建筑师G.F.琼斯才将红塔恢复到最初的模样。如今，这座美丽的建筑依然值得一看。如果您在约克城墙附近漫步，不妨前往参观，它位于福斯岛路沿线，很容易找到。
