Advantages: Size And Amazing Architecture Disadvantages: Foundations where a bit scary for me
I loveyork and whenever possible go for a weekend. Whilst there I always visit YorkMinster and usually stay in an Inn a few feet away directly facing the Minster. The first thing that strikes you is the size of it and the fabulous architecture (it's over 500 feet wide and has a central tower almost 200 feet high). Visitors come from all over the world to admire YorkMinster Cathedral.
Whilst you are looking around the Minster bear in mind it took over 250 years to complete and the only devices they had then were simple levers, pulleys and hoists. Lots of Masons and Carpenters spent their entire working lives just helping to construct YorkMinster.
In the year 306A.D. Constantine was proclaimed Emperor in a ceremony which took place on the sight of the future Minister, there is a statue of him looking very Imperial outside ...

album.
The services that are held here are described as being on the high church Anglo-Catholicism side of worship, with long services that more closely resemble Catholic Mass than more typical Anglican services, the Minster also has its own choir.
YorkMinster is open daily throughout the year. During the Summer it open from 9am until 5pm and during Winter from 9.30am until 5pm. On Sundays it is open from Midday until 3.45pm.
If you are in York then a visit to YorkMinster is highly recommended.

Advantages: magnificent architecture reflecting over a thousand years of history and religion. Disadvantages: none that I can see.
not climb the Tower and people who suffer from vertigo should think twice.
What you can see
YorkMinster is very important within the Church of England. It is the seat of the Archbishop of York, who is the most prominent bishop after the Archbishop of Canterbury. As the second largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, it is 158 metres long and 60 metres high. Besides admiring the magnificent buildings there are certainly a lot of things to see. Here I have selected just a few that attracted me the most.
1. The Rose Window
The Rose Window is something that no visitor can fail to miss. It?s just at the front entrance and a stained glass window, which is considered to be the most beautiful window of the minster. It tells the story of the houses of York and Lancaster, who historically had fights for the crown and control of England ...
