It is impressive how the English keep their treasures. If you build treasures; and wish to keep them for a thousand years (or longer). Build them in England.

We do like to hold onto the past. I am sure that when they were built they never imagined they would survive this long!

I've loved the rich colors of stained glass since I was a small child going to church in a neo-gothic little church in my home town. (Sadly, the church was bulldozed to widen a highway back in 1972.) I'm an American who's never been able to travel out of my home state, let alone to Europe. But it's been a daydream of mine to walk into a cathedral so incredibly old and beautiful. I really enjoyed all the views in this video.

My dad worked on the minster as a apprentice Mason as well as the city walls, also in 1998 my wife's brother was married in the minster due to a family member being the head electrician there. The place is simply stunning.

My father's maternal grandfather was an ecclesiastical sculptor (latter half of nineteenth century). He mostly did work during the heyday of Victorian Gothic, when a lot of older features were ruthlessly updated, unfortunately. He did do work on Southwark Cathedral, not nearly so prestigious as York! You must be very proud of your family's contributions. He died rather young from lung disease from the stone dust (emphysema, I'm guessing). I hope your dad has not suffered any health problems from his work.

I visited the Minster in the late eighties with only Durham and Lincoln being more favored. Awesome place, and the city in whole is amongst my favorites along with Durham and Conway in Wales. As stated before, I marvel at your technique, being top notch documentary style. Smashing job!

Thanks for this. You do great walks! I was there in 2013, before Covid, and I just walked in, paying with my YorkPass. I can't think of another building where I was so awestruck by the shear workmanship, and devotion of those who built it. The church in Ripon is beautiful too, if on a smaller scale. I wish I'd had more time for a tour of it. Next time.

When I took Art History in college the instructor told us we’d have to identify parts of the Gothic Cathedral, Norte Dame in Paris. When the final exam was given it was a completely different church. When I visited the York Minster I realized that this was the church on my exam! It is spectacular and breathtaking!

Splendid! On our visit to York many years ago, there was a service going on, so we were not able to take a tour before catching the train south. Thank you so much for showing and explaining so many of the incredible details. The Five Sister's window...so moving. Arson is a horrible crime; human life is precious, but the legacy of these beautiful ancient structures must also be protected. I find it interesting how many Roman era structures in the UK were dismantled, buried, built upon, etc., where in Italy they were preserved; perhaps it is something to do with viewing Romans as ancestors versus invaders. I was so looking forward to this Minster tour, as I know well the excellent quality of your work. Cheers!

And when I took my tour of York Minster, the guide was an elderly gentleman who spoke barely above a whisper, so I couldn’t understand anything he said. Thank you so much for filling in all the blanks about the church and it’s history. It’s truly one of the most magnificent places I’ve ever been. Bravo! Safe travels!

Thank you so much for your beautiful video, which took me back to when I visited York Minster in the 1980s. I am so sorry you missed the Undercroft--you will have to make another visit sometime! In the Cathedral shop I bought a paperweight made from stone removed in the restoration that was ongoing at the time of our visit--mostly of the Undercroft, I think; the cathedral's foundations needed strengthening. The paperweight was to benefit the rebuilding fund; it has a white rose of York (plastic, alas) stuck to the top of the little square of stone. I treasure it! I have also enjoyed all your videos on York and other places. (Born in England; immigrated to America.)

Thank you Lorraine, yes the craftsmen were so skilled, and the team that is restoring and renovating areas of the minster now luckily still have those skills!

Someone please tell me what that gorgeous pure vocal piece is, which was playing toward the end of the video (Starting @ 10:29). It sounded a lot like Rachmaninoff’s Vespers. I love that kind of music!

Forgot to mention about the stairs to the top. I didn't go there then, and can't now, partly because I'm out of shape, and also because I'm too old. If you're under 12 or over 70 they won't let you do it.

Interesting I don’t know they had an age restriction. Would have liked to have seen the views from the top.
