Beatuiful

If you're in the area (or looking for something to go and see) it's worth making the trip, it's a stunning Minster, almost as nice as the Beverley one!

Lovely church.

Very interesting old church. I hadn’t realised it’s connection with the Duke of Wellington, and was fascinated to see the regimental colours from Waterloo hung up in the church. Well worth a visit.
