They’ll come to the church firstly looking on old gargoyles thinking: “Oh, that’s not scary and I can steal something for today’s dinner”. Congregations are used to ordinary gargoyles, so my will come as a contrast. It’ll hang in upside down position, slightly diagonally from the rest of relief. As there’re already not scary gargoyles outside the entrance end no evil allowed into the church I’ll put my statue in the corner of the entrance. The south transept contains a rose window, while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design colloquially known as The Heart of Yorkshire.Medieval cannon require every image to be read from the Bible, so I’ll take an ordinary image of gargoyle again. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. The minster, devoted to Saint Peter, has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The title “minster” is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum. It is run by a dean and chapter, under the Dean of York. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England(after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury), and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York. The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe.
