York Minster authorities have opened the Minster Village for the summer. It is situated just south of the south wall of the choir. It was a lawned area, which has been converted to a pleasant space with refreshments, seating, and these rather attractive flower arches.
The area around York Minster will see a lot of changes over the next few years. What was the Minster Song School is being refurbished for use as a restaurant by the Minster, and other buildings owned by the Minster are being found new uses. New facilities will be developed for the Minster stonemasons and glasiers. It will be interesting to see the changes take place.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I'm not sure when this Minster Village opened, but it must have been quite recently. They have provided an attractive place, and it would have been an excellent backdrop with the Minster behind it, except that this section of the Minster wall is currently covered with scaffolding as part of a project to restore more of the stained glass.
Thank you all, it is a pleasnant looking place. I understand it is open throughout the summer, but I assume it will be replaced next year by a restaurant being created in the old Minster Song School building on the opposite side of the road to this.
