The York Minster has been awarded a £390,000 lottery grant to go towards the planned £6 million restoration of the cathedral’s ‘Great East’ window. The window is one of the oldest stained glass windows in the country, and also the largest piece of medieval art anywhere in the world. Dean of York, the Very Reverend Keith Jones, has dubbed the window the “Sistine Chapel of stained glass”.
