Description
The 11th century Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster is one of the largest cathedrals of its kind in Europe. Adorned with stained glass and enveloped with soaring ceilings, this imposing church displays the skills of High Middle Ages craftsmen.
York was founded in 71 AD when Roman Legions conquered the Brigantes, a Celtic tribe, and was later dominated by Vikings who gave it the name Jórvík; then by the 10th Century came the Normans, and in 1485 the Tudor age began and York was at its highpoint. It wasn’t until the 1700s that York became fashionable destination with Georgian elegance adding to its architectural and historical charms.
