The Cathedral of York
High above the narrow streets is the great tower of the largest medieval building in Britain. The cathedral was begun in 1220 and finished two centuries later. Its tall pointed arches are typical of that period. Part of the roof was damaged by fire not long ago.
If you compare this cathedral with a cathedral in some of the Catholic countries of southern Europe, it seems bare and colourless. Cathedrals in Protestant England dont usually have colourful paintings on the walls and ceilings. The colour is in the windows.
Among the stone carvings in this group of fifteen English kings, from William the First to Henry the Sixth. Other carvings represent people who were buried here when they died.
