York Minster is the mother church of the Diocese of York.

It was consecrated and declared complete in 1472.York Minster was heavily looted and damaged during the English reformation with many phases of restoration taking place during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Minister has been victim to both accidental fires and deliberate arson attacks throughout its history with the most recent in 1984 thought to be caused by lightning.
