YORK MINSTER.  

JT is in the eternal fitness of things that the ancient and historic city of York should contain within itself the largest and finest ecclesiastical edifice  

in England. As it now exists it was begun in 1171 and completed in 1472. As church centre York is much older. In 624, Edwin, King of Northumbria,  

made it an archiepiscopal see, and two centuries later it earned European fame for the diocesan school there established The stately minster has  

probably an older and wider reputation than any other English cathedral. It was the centre from which Christianity spread through the country north of  

the Humber. The, metropolitan church of the northern province was regarded with reverence and admiration as its stately towers and roofs were seen  

rising in massive grandeur above the great plain of York The vast edifice is usually entered from the south transept, the earliest portion of the existing  

church, and from this point the architectural succession of the cathedral may be easily observed. If approached by the great west door, the entire length  

of the minster is best seen. The vaulted roof, 100 feet high, stretches in noble vista 500 feet long to the east window, while the mellowed light that  

streams down from the painted windows falls on the great clustered pillars on either side of the nave. The Center or Lantern Tower, 235 feet high, is said  

to be the most massive in England, the top being beautifully battlemented. The choir, built in the same style as the nave, illustrates the progress of Gothic  

architecture from the Decorated to the Perpendicular. The east window, 75 feet high and 32 feet broad, is declared the finest in the world. Whether  

York, in many phases, is worthy of its superb sacred fane is question upon which opinions probably differ. H. V. Morton has written that York is the  

loveliest city in all England,” “her last real anchor to the Middle Ages.” Those conversant with other cities, rich too in ecclesiastical associations, may  

question this view. For all of that York has few equals historically and religiously in the history of the British race.
