York minster

The cathedral is one of the two largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe alongside Cologne cathedral. York Minster incorporates all the major stages of Gothic architectural development in England. The present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472. The “Great East Window” inside the cathedral is the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world.

The stunning Great West Window at York Minster, North Yorkshire. It is nicknamed the 'Heart of Yorkshire' due to the heart shape formed by the tracery near the top of the window. It was inserted in the 1330’s when a radical rethink of the design of the western facade was put into effect. Master Mason Ivo de Raghton was responsible for the stonework and tracery of the window. The overall glazing scheme was designed to reflect the hierarchy and legitimacy of the medieval Church.

The York minster in one of the most impressive (by its height) cathedral I have ever seen. I stitched this photo with perspective corrections etc... using Hugin from two photos. It is impossible (at least for me), because of all the buildings around the minster, to get the full façade in one shot. You can see a group of people on the right hand side that will give you an idea of the size of the building. Best viewed Large See where the photo was taken at maps.yuan.cc/.
