Evening Light York Minster York England Historical and Architectural Context York Minster, officially known as the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter, crowns the historic city of York. Its origins stretch back to a wooden church built in 627 AD for the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria. Over the next several centuries, it evolved into a stone Norman cathedral around 1080 before entering its most iconic phase of development: the Gothic masterpiece begun in 1220 under Archbishop Walter de Gray. This transformation spanned roughly 250 years, birthing the majestic nave, the soaring central tower, the ornate quire, and the luminous Great East Window often dubbed the "Sistine Chapel of Stained Glass"—a breathtaking mosaic of over 300 panels completed by 1408 Ilkley Brickwork. Remarkable engineering feats, like the central tower constructed atop medieval foundations and the self-supporting octagonal Chapter House, showcase the masons' genius. Even today, stone-carving apprentices continue this centuries-old tradition from the Stoneyard, keeping time-honored techniques alive .
