What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: St. Michael-Le-Belfrey the only pre-Reformation church in York to have been built all at one time (1525-1536) by John Forman, Master Mason to the Minster. Guy Fawkes was baptized here on 16th April 1570
John Forman was a prominent Master Mason who oversaw the construction of St. Michael-Le-Belfrey, one of the few pre-Reformation churches built in its entirety between 1525-1536; Guy Fawkes, baptized here in 1570, is infamously remembered for his role in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
