York Minster

Minster Memories needed

Published Tuesday 18th March 2008 by Alix Peacock

The Dean and Chapter of York are calling on York Residents to share some of their memories of the Minster during the twentieth century for use in a book on York Minster to be published in November 2008. York Minster – A Living Legacy will tell the story of the people and community behind the Minster, particularly focussing on events which have shaped the Minster’s history in the 20th and 21st Centuries. 

The Dean and Chapter are particularly interested in learning of memories of the 1960s restoration of York Minster and the 1984 fire which damaged the South Transept.  But any special memories, anecdotes or photographs will be of great interest.

If you have any special memories or mementoes of York Minster and would like to contribute to this unique book, please contact the Editor, Pamela Hartshorne, c/o TMI, 2-5 Benjamin Street, London, EC1M 5QL or e-mail minsterbook@tmiltd.com.   Contributions must be received by Monday 31st March 2008.
