York Minster

I didn't get any outside pictures of the Cathedral. But did take two inside only to discover that you weren't allowed to take pictures, so here are my "illegal" pictures. Ooops. Not the greatest as I'm still learning how to take pictures in dark areas.....
I read in one of their pamphlets that York is both a Minster and Cathedral. Minster because of a relationship to a monastery or abbey and Cathedral because it is the seat of the bishop.

This one has it's own police force since 1829 when someone set fire to the church.

Another interesting tidbit:
"It is believed that for many years there has been a ghost of J.H. Charles, one of the former organists, who fell to his death while cleaning the valves of the church's organ. Some have claimed to have seen him in person, later to recognise him from the church portraits kept from the time. Others say that you can hear him playing hymns late at night. This is just one of the hundreds of myths that have come to get York the title of the most haunted city in the world."

I did hear organ music when we were there at night, but that's because there was a service going on! (Or maybe I just thought there was a service going on..... hmmmmm)
