York Minster is a huge 13th-century Gothic cathedral and is the second-largest in Northern Europe. It has two functioning bell towers and medieval stained glass, some of which dates back to the 12th century. The largest expanse of medieval glass is the Great East Window which measures 77-foot tall and 32-foot wide. Approximately two million pieces of glass make up the cathedral's 128 windows. The floor plan is in the shape of the crucifix. The stone used is manesian limestone. The Minster is 524 feet long and the central tower is 235 feet tall. The nave is the widest Gothic nave in England and has a wooden roof painted to look like stone.

This guy must have been full of himself.
Tower ceiling.
Pillars supporting the tower, the colors are different because more support was needed.
