York Minster & St Williams College

by MJ Braithwaite

St. William's College, at the east end of the Minster, was founded in 1460 as a residence for the Chantry Priests who celebrated Mass at the Altars of the Minster.

Here, in 1642, King Charles I established the royal printing press at the beginning of the Civil War.

The buildings surround a courtyard, the ground floor construction is of stone, and the projecting upper story is half timbered.

The great east window of York Minster is the largest stained glass window in the world containing its original glazing. The Dean and Chapter, in 1405, contracted John Thornton of Coventry to complete the window within three years.

Showing the East Window of York Minster and the half-timbered St. William's College, the original picture was painted in acrylic, on canvas in 1997.

"York Minster & St. William's College " has been reproduced using the offset litho process on art card.
