Summary edit

Description

York Minster

In 1297 the Chapter House was used as the location for the Parliament of King Edward I and the space is still used today for the College of Canons meetings and for part of the installation of new Canons. There are 44 seats which run around its walls arranged in groups of six, so each canon has an equal voice during the meetings. The Chapter House’s walls contain some of the Minster's finest carvings, most dating from 1270 to 1280s. They include characters you might not expect to see within a building of this importance, from a lowly mouse, cats and dogs to a jester, and several characters pulling funny faces.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
