York - Holy Trinity Church

The Holy Trinity church was a stop during our free walking tour. It had interesting architecture on the outside and especially the inside.

Its a nice little green space in the middle of the old town, if you cannot make it to the Museum gardens.

The church dates from the 12th to the 14th century, as parts were added. The wooden boxed areas are for paying families to have their own area to worship. The church was declared redundant in 1971 and is up-kept by the Churches Conservation Trust.

The stained glass is quite nice.

The floor is sinking in parts because the bodies buried underneath the floor shift as they decompose.

The scroll on the wall is made for Mrs Thornhil, who after her death in 1749, gave 20 pounds. The interest of that cash was to educate four poor girls. Kinda puts the current economy into perspective, doesn't it.
