Beverley Minster, East Yorkshire, UK. Beverley Minster, in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire is a parish church in the Church of England. It is generally regarded as the most impressive (architecturally speaking) church in England that is not a cathedral. / Originally a collegiate church, it was not selected as a bishop’s seat during the Dissolution of the Monasteries; nevertheless it survived as a parish church, and the chapter house was the only major part of the building to be lost. It is part of the Greater Churches Group and a Grade 1 Listed building. / The Minster owes its origin and much of its subsequent importance to St John of Beverley, who founded a monastery locally around 700 AD and whose bones still lie beneath a plaque in the nave. The institution grew after his death and underwent several rebuildings. After a serious fire in 1188, the subsequent reconstruction was overambitious; the newly heightened central tower collapsed c. 1213 bringing down much of the surrounding church. Work on the present structure began around 1220. ~ Wikipedia Samsung GX20, Tamron 24-105mm lens @ f22. HDR – my first ever attempt!

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 25 seconds, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop Another shot from my trip to York, this stunning minster is amazing, according to our guide the amount of stained glass windows in the minster is equivilent to the amount in every other church in England put together!!! York Minster is a Gothic cathedral in York, England and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe alongside Cologne Cathedral. The Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is cathedral for the Diocese of York; it is run by a Dean and Chapter under the Dean of York. The formal title of York Minster is The Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of St Peter in York.

It has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic choir and east end, and Early English north and south transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window, (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 16 metres (52 ft) high. The south transept contains the famous Rose window. Please view large!

There are references to the “Whitemill” (the building of ‘A Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill) in the year 1175 and again in 1326. What is, perhaps, significant is that other places appear to have taken their names from Whitemill (Whitemill Farm, Whitemill Bridge) rather than the mill taking its name from the village. In 1326 we find a deed: “John Chyke to Peter le Boyt – all his tenements at Wytemull… together with part of his mill” which hints that the mill may once have been “Wytemull Mill”. It is possible that an earlier building on the site, presumably of timber framed construction, might have been limewashed. A more likely explanation ties in with the fact that a former chalk pit (now the car park) behind the mill, and that the west end of the building appears to stand on an artificial island made largely from chalk. So it wouldn’t just have been the mill that was white, the whole area would have been white from all the chalk. The mill was rebuilt in 1776 on much older foundations, on a site that is older still. The present mill worked under water power until 1866 when a severe winter flood breached the diversionary works in the river so severely that they were deemed beyond economic repair. By this time the miller was also the local baker so, rather than simply closing the mill, he converted one half of it to run from a portable steam engine in order to keep his bakehouse supplied with flour. Commercial milling however appears to have ended with the flood. With the retirement of the last miller, around the end of the Nineteenth century, the working life of the mill came to an end and the millstones came to rest. After the turn of the century, the tenancy changed hands a couple of times in quick succession and the building spent the next 85 years rotting away as little more than a farm shed. Whitemill, along with the rest of the Kingston Lacy estates, was bequeathed to the National Trust by Ralph Bankes in 1982, but it wasn’t until 1994 that the Trust found the resources (£300,000) to begin the painstaking conservation of the property. The body of the current mill is built of brick, but the Wheelchamber is of quality stone construction. This stonework dates, we are told, to sometime in the fourteenth century, around the period when the Duke of Lancaster held the manor as a grant from the King. It is clear that when it came to the 1776 re-build, the builders considered that the power-plant was good enough to retain even though the superstructure (probably timber framed) was ruined. This fourteenth century dating is reinforced by the discovery of timbers in the foundations, during the underpinning of the river end wall, which have been radio-carbon dated to the same era. It is probable that the current mill is simply the last in a long line of rebuilds on the same foundations.

This is the view from one of our office windows. Taken from the top of Toft Green this is the view across the slopes of the river sides towards the Minster and the famous Rose Window. It shows how each decade has affected the styles of buildings and the windows they have used, from the Rose Window in the Minster to the humble skylight The amazing weather vane is a well known landmark in York, recently repaired after nearly being blown off in last years winds. It sits on top of old North Eastern Railway building. Shot in York Converted into albumen in PSP

The Corn Market The architecture of Wimborne is regarded as one of the foremost collections of 15th, 16th and 17th century buildings in Dorset. Local planning has restricted the construction of new buildings in areas such as the Corn Market and the High Street, which has preserved almost all of the original buildings. The most interesting examples of English architecture include the centuries-old Wimborne Minster, the Town Hall, the Priest’s House Museum and dozens of original 16th, 17th and 18th century fronted shops and pubs. The town is also home to the Tivoli Theatre, a 1930’s art deco cinema and theatre. Date: 28th June 2008

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 1/50 second, ISO200, tweaked in Photoshop Another shot from my trip to the wonderful city of York, in the foreground is a scale model of the city of York. The Gothic style in cathedrals had arrived in the mid 12th century. Walter de Gray was made archbishop in 1215 and ordered the construction of a Gothic structure to compare to Canterbury; building began in 1220. The north and south transepts were the first new structures; completed in the 1250s, both were built in the Early English Gothic style but had markedly different walls. A substantial central tower was also completed, with a wooden spire. Building continued into the 15th century. Please view large!

This light stands outside the front of the church of St Peter in York. The view down Duncombe Place is a fairly modern vista, the houses being cleared by the council so the view of the Minster could be more imposing to visitors. Shot in North Yorkshire in the early hours of the dawn

This was a shot taken a couple of weeks ago, the gent had just sat down and the car was just passing and was glad I had caught at least one shot of the stillness of the sitter against the city walls and York Minster against the passing of the car. This is Bootham Bar leading into High Petergate, bar being old word for gate and gate meaning street. Hence the term barring the gate, now used for putting the gate back across the space into the field or space. Converted into infrared to bring the shadows out.
