Church of Holy Trinity~

*The first existing record of the church is a charter of 1082 which, although subsequently proved to be a forgery, does contain certain elements of truth. That church would have been a simple rectangle with thin walls and no trace survives of it other than a fragment of Norman chevron decoration and traces of reused 12th century work in the south wall. The chancel dates from the late 12th century and part of its original north wall and south-east buttress is evident.

Between 1470 and 1480 the east end was altered completely to accommodate the magnificent stained glass window given by Revd John Walker in 1470-71. He is said to have rebuilt the chancel as well, and, if this is so, the whole of the north aisle must have been erected at the same time, for the pillars all have capitals of the same profile. In 1495-96 the tower was built, the main part of the church being then complete.

There were minor works in the 19th century which were fortunately not too extensive, as the proposal to remove the box pews in 1896 was never carried out.

Holy Trinity Church is an exceptional Grade 1 Listed building.*

York Minster~ The MUST visit place in York..

*York Minster dominates the City of York, and is the principal cathedral in the north of England.

The first cathedral was founded in 627AD by St. Paulinus, one of the earliest missionaries to England, and the present building was finally dedicated in 1472. York Minster is built on the site of the Roman fortress where Constantine was proclaimed Roman Emperor in 306AD. Constantine became the first Christian Emperor, and this led to the spread of Christinanity throughout the world. So the very foundations of the Minster are connected with the history of the Christian faith.*
