York Wheel and a superb Ceanothus.
The Minster Towers.
A Minster is different from a Cathedral. It is called a Minster because it was originally founded as a Missionary Church and became a centre from which Christian teaching was carried to the surrounding countryside. Cathedral simply means the place where a bishop's cathedra or throne is kept. York Minster, or St Peter's, is also a Cathedral because the cathedra of the bishop resides there.
