York Minster

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 Monday, 16 Oct 2023 York, UK

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.
