Forgot to update this thread. Many thanks for all of your suggestions. We managed to pack a few of them in (got back a fortnight ago).
Did some massively touristy stuff too (York Boat trip up and down the Ouse, the remarkably smelly Jorvik Centre etc).
Top tip: don't assume that managing a quick circuit of Clifford's Tower means that you've cured your raging vertigo and then have a go on the Yorkshire Wheel.
As it turned out our hotel was literally next door to the RDG and Yorkshire Regt museum too. I managed to take some phots which I'll bang up if anyone's interested,
