You're standing at York Minster, the cathedral of York and one of the largest Gothic churches in Northern Europe. First, notice the colour of the stone. That creamy white is limestone from Tadcaster, a town just down the road. The building is almost a hundred and sixty metres long, and the central tower rises seventy-two metres into the sky.
