The Jewels of York

St. Helen's Church

Originally a mediaeval church, it has been rebuild several times and the present structure dates from the 19th century, but retains a mediaeval design and feel. Contains a fine 12th century font and glass dating the 14th century.

St. Martin's Church


The original church building dates from the 11th century. It became the civic church of York until it was almost entirely destroyed by fire on 29th April 1942. The south aisle and bell tower survived.
From 1961-1968 the remains of the building were restored to an inspired and much admired design by the respected architect - George Pace - who incorporated some remaining old structure into the new. In 1968 Archbishop of York, re-hallowed the restoration, as "a shrine of remembrance for all who died in the two world wars, a chapel of peace and reconciliation between nations and between men".
