The area around the Minster
This medieval cathedral started in 1291 and is in Decorated Gothic style.
Splendid medieval windows that all have …names. In the south nave aisle the third to last is known as the Jesse window which shows the “family tree” of Jesus.
In the north transept you can see an Astronomical Clock. THis is a memorial to all the air crews who flew from airfields in the north-east of England during the Second World War
The Organ has over 4,000 pipes which, laid end to end, whould strech around 7km!
