  York Minstrel

 
  The beautiful front face of the York Minster - The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St. Peter in York. 
 
Built in the 1200 - 1300s this is the largest medieval gothic cathedral in northern Europe.  Not all cathedrals are minsters and not all minsters are cathedrals.  A cathedral is the mother church of a diocese.  A minster was the Anglo-Saxon name for a missionary church.
