York - Saint Martin le Grand Church

Saint Martin le Grand was built in the 11th century with the tower added in the 15th. It was bombed during WW2 but rebuilding was finished in 1968. Their official website is here.

The baptismal font.

The stained glass was saved from the bombing as it was removed in 1940 as a precaution.

They have concerts in the church, including Ukaranian born Spanish guitarists like Galina Vale! She is quite the guitarist prodigy as seen here.
