Firefighters have spent more than four hours tackling a fire in the York Minster stoneyard and saving the world's largest stained glass window.
The blaze began shortly before 11.30pm last night in the yard where restorers are working on the Minster's Great East Window, worth £27 million.
Firefighters from York station, Acomb, Huntington, Easingwold and Tadcaster all attended the incident and managed to save the window.
