York Unlocked - A Glimpse from York Oratory Garden
Today's shot from our tour of locations taking part in York Unlocked last weekend is not of the location itself, but a view from the location.
Katharine and I were in the garden of York Oratory (St Wilfrid's Church). I didn't even know there was a garden at the church until I saw the list of places open for this event. The garden is completely hidden from the streets that pass it, hidden behind rows of buildings.
The garden is a link between the church and the home of the priests who serve at the church - Petergate House. The garden was a pleasant quiet place, but I was more impressed by this view of the western towers of York Minster, over the roofs of houses in High Petergate. It's getting increasingly difficult to find a new view of the Minster, so I was pleased to discover this one!

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was wonderful to find this hidden garden in the heart of the city and get this unique view of the Minster - and in such beautiful sunshine!

I cheated a bit with this one - it was last weekend when we did have sunshine!
