York Minster is the cathedral of York in northern England and the seat of the Archbishop of York. Its origins go back to the wooden church built for the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria in 627, while the present Gothic building was constructed between about 1220 and 1472. It is one of the largest medieval cathedrals in northern Europe and is noted for its stained glass.
