On the Grid : York Minster
"Yorkies love their Minster, which boasts the fine qualities of magical stones that are the colour of a cracked egg when it's sunny and having had part of its roof designed by children. (When the South Transept was partially destroyed by fire in 1984, viewers of TV show Blue Peter were invited to design new ceiling bosses.) It's a bewildering hulk on one level, all flying buttresses and jumbled walkways; and a thing of singular, often startling beauty on another, especially up close. Marvel at the silence inside, then huff and puff up the narrow tower stairs for long views and ancient graffiti." - Abell Design
