When in York one must visit York Minster. An Anglican cathedral, the building's full name is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York. It is a massive building encrusted of decorations, with huge rooms, giant windows, enormous columns, and so on. Built to impress the masses, to feed egos, to one-up the neighbours, and to glorify an imaginary being.

It points to the sky like a huge dead finger.
-Detective Shardlake on first viewing the minster, in C. J. Sansom's novel Sovereign

Debtors prison, York Castle  
 

This is an actual prison cell inside York castle (not the cathedral; we've changed locations). The fellow projected on the wall (represented by an actor, obviously) was a real person imprisoned for debt. He shared this tiny, cold, cement room with many other prisoners. Contrast this with the palatial structure on the other side of town.
