York Minster

The largest medieval gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, York Minster is over 500ft (152m) long and 100ft (30m) wide, and has some of the oldest and finest stained glass in the country. A campaign to raise £30m over 10 years was launched in 2005 to finance essential restoration work, particularly on the East Front and the Great East Window, the largest piece of medieval art in the world.
