Places Of Worship in York, North Yorkshire

“Called into this lovely little church which was bombed in WW2. The remaining part of the church has been beautifully renovated and was open for the sale of Christmas cards and free to enter.After extensive rebuilding, the church was rehallowed as a chapel of peace.Some strikingly modern elements have taken their place alongside the old. A suitably fiery east window depicting the burning of the church soars above a gold painted aluminium sculpture of the Last Supper, the figures angular and twisted.The old west window remains. Dating from about 1440 and the largest of any parish church in York, it was fortunately removed into store in 1940 for protection and reinstated in the new north wall in 1967 as part of the triumphant restoration.”

“I was made welcome by the priest and church warden. I stayed at the back of the church where there were tables and chairs, which enabled me to read my book and reflect.”
