Our guides Alison & Geoff on the @yorkminster.bsky.social ‘Chapter House & Mason’s Loft Tour’ were brilliant and so knowledgable.
If you’re in York, do check the website and book yourself into the tour. Your ticket gets you entry to the Minster for a whole year too.

Lastly you come into the most spectacular space, standing inside the amazing timber structure of the Chapter House Roof @yorkminster.bsky.social Photos really don’t do it justice, you have to see it to understand the sheer scale & skill of what they achieved.

We got to walk across a section of the roof at @yorkminster.bsky.social and get some unique views of the architecture. The structure in the second image is the outside of the Chapter House Roof.
You get a close up view of some of the stone-carving from here too.

Next stop, up a hidden spiral staircase was the Mason’s Loft at @yorkminster.bsky.social to see the wooden templates used by the stonemasons, and the space where the designs were drawn out onto the floor.
They even had a self-flushing garderobe!

I agree. It’s difficult, and the safeguards are so important, but I think certain circumstances justify us being allowed the choice.

This looks fascinating. I love the gallery, but it’s a bit of a trek for me from Oxford!
