More than two million people from all
over the world pass through the Minster annually—and it is easy to understand
why. This architectural masterpiece took more than 250 years to build.
Intricate carvings and stone work embellish the inner and outer surfaces while
offering inspirational images of faith.
The immense structure contains the
world's greatest collection of intact Medieval stained glass windows. It has
more original Medieval glass than the rest of Britain’s churches combined—the
east window alone is the size of a tennis court.
Despite its cavernous interior, massive
grey columns, and bare stone floors, the Minster manages to bathe visitors in a
soft natural light and evoke a feeling of airiness.
