7th and 8th November

Mum, Mary 1 and I went to York overnight. Most of their attention was spent on the Minster, so there are enough pictures for its own page.

First view. Pity towns got built up, the approach is less impressive now. Closer up, first visit. View of the Minster at night. This was a very funny commentary if you can read it up close. These reclining bishops look like calendar girls. His Holiness Bishop February likes puppies and wishes for world peace. uhh... Edward Plantagenet? Madonna figure outside the chapter house ceiling of the chapter house floor of the chapter house more of the floor some of the stonework in the chapter house stonework with flash uhh window in the north transept? nave looking towards the screen still looking towards the screen screen up close part of the choir on the climb up to the top - view from south tower looking west south side it's a long way down! I wouldn't have wanted to be one of the stonemasons a dove in the window. (OK, a white pigeon. Whatever.) View of York from the top of the minster. Even now, there's nothing even close t view of the west towers from the top of the minster. uhh... the north tower I think More of the city. Clifford's Tower is dead center. south side buttresses again The minster from the city walls between Bootham Bar and Monks Bar From the city walls again -- with the huge roof of the chapter house in the foreground.
