York, Holy Trinity Goodramgate 3 North Yorkshire A glimpse of the Medieval world behind a busy street
• Magnificent 15th-century stained glass • See the evolution of a church over seven centuries Holy Trinity Goodramgate has the air of a hidden treasure. It stands on a little patch of green, tucked away behind one of York’s busiest shopping streets. To visit, you pass through an 18th-century archway tacked on to buildings that served as artisans’ workshops in the 14th century. The church itself is full of character. The floors and arcades are charmingly uneven. Light filters through the windows, illuminating honey-coloured stone. On sunny days, the glass casts transient shafts of coloured light on the walls and Medieval faces, gloriously backlit, stare out from the windows. The building dates chiefly from the 15th century, but has features from its foundation in the 12th century right up to the 19th century. Outdoor benches make the churchyard the perfect place for reflection, offering a welcome retreat from the hectic best kept world outside. secrets 70 Goodramgate, York YO1 7LF York city centre off Goodramgate the intimate and characterful church of Nearest railway station: York (0.5 miles) Holy Trinity Goodramgate, offers a unique and memorable experience in York Open Tue-Sat, 10am-4pm; Sun-Mon, 12am-4pm Wentworth, Holy Trinity Old Church 4 South Yorkshire An old estate church rooted in village history
