Ceiling detail in the Chapter House at York Minster
York Minster is certainly one of the finest English churches with so much to enjoy . For me the Chapter House is its outstanding architectural feature . It was difficult to get a shot of the windows so I laid on the floor and took a shot upwards towards the apex of its remarkable ceiling
Work began in the early thirteenth century on the chapter house and its vestibule that links it to the north transept. The style of the chapter house is of the early Decorated Period where geometric patterns were used in the tracery of the windows, which were wider than those of early styles. The chapter house is octagonal, as is the case in many cathedrals, but is notable in that it has no central column supporting the roof. The wooden roof, which was of an innovative design, is light enough to be able to be supported by the buttressed walls.
