Minster appeal

Once more the people of York are being rallied to the cause of the Minster.

This latest fundraising launch is exceptional for two reasons. It aims to raise an unprecedented sum of money: £23 million to save the East Front, or £30 million if you include the longer term aim to restore the choir and the library.

Perhaps more significantly this is the first appeal since the introduction of admission charges.

Anyone wanting to support the appeal should send cheques payable to York Minster Fund to Development Campaign, Church House, Ogleforth, York. Y01 7JN.
