The Stone Masons Yard

It was fascinating to see the Stone Masons working at their craft. They were working on larger pieces than were displayed in the minster last time I visited.

The Minster is currently part way through the five-year ‘York Minster Revealed’ project.  The Heritage Lottery Fund has issued a grant to enable expansion of training in the specialist skills of stone-masonry and stained glass conservation.  These skills are being used to repair and restore the stonework and stained glass on the east front of the Minster.
