Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot Conspirator Born here 1570 Hung, drawn & quartered in City of London 31st January 1606

25 High Petergate dates to 1707 and is, as part of the block of buildings 25-29, Grade II* listed. There is no evidence at all that Guy Fawkes was born in a house on this site. The York Civic Trust instead argues that he was born on nearby Stonegate.
