Latest NewsUp close with York’s painted saints22 October 2012
Visitors to York Minster will be able to see part of the Great East Window in an "orb" (left) from next Saturday. The 311-panel window, described as the stained-glass equivalent of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, is being restored. Panels that have been restored are being displayed in a gallery created inside a futuristic metallic "orb" inside the church. It displays five panels; four are on permanent display while the fifth will change each month during the three-year restoration. The window, completed in 1408, was created by John Thornton and cost £56, around £300, 000 today. Mr Thornton received a £10 bonus for his work.
