All
Saints Church, Pavement, is the Regimental Church of The Royal Dragoon
Guards. In the North Aisle there is a memorial to the Polety brothers,
of the 7th Dragoon Guards, who died in 1829 and 1838. The 7th Dragoon
Guards was stationed in York in 1829 and in February of that year,
they helped to fight the fire in York Minster with the Regimental
fire fighting appliance. Troop Sergeant Major John Polety died a week
after fighting the fire.
Our parent Regiments have been stationed in York
from time to time since the early 1700s. The Freedom of the City
of York was presented to The Royal Dragoon Guards on the 24th April
1999. The Regiment exercised the Freedom of the City on the 16 March
2002, and following the parade, a Regimental window was dedicated
in our 10th century, All Saints Church.
