There were some excellent colourful displays at the flower festival at All Saints Church, North Street in York - but there was also this rather good display in white on the screen and around the altar. This was perhaps my favourite part of the display.
The effect was slightly marred by the absence of the stained glass behind the altar. Although the glass has been renovated, it has not yet been put back. Scaffolding is just visible behind the altar so everything is in place ready to put the glass back.
I did take photos of the stained glass while I was there, although many of the flower displays covered the lower part of windows, so I need to make another visit for more shots of the glass.
A very worthwhile visit to this interesting old church. The building itself is wonderful to explore and the addition of the flower festival added to the visit.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Now the flower festival is over, I need to go back to the church and take photos of the stained glass that was partly obscured by the flowers. I also need to find my copy of the guide book and re-read the long and enthralling history of the building and it's congregation.

The flower display was just a four day festival, the first one that this church has held.

Thank you Vesna - the students had worked hard to create this display.
