1 York Minster

Famed for its vaulted ceiling and exquisite medieval stained glass, York Minster is the most important church in northern England.

Dating back as a place of worship to the seventh century, the church has been rebuilt and extended over its long life, with the nave and vaulting completed in the 13th and 14th centuries. The stained glass is the jewel in the cathedral’s crown and much work has been carried out to restore and conserve the glass, including the recently renovated Great East Window. There’s also the opportunity to visit the the immersive Undercroft Museum, where you can find out about the Minster’s connections to Viking York.
