York Minster (5): South doorway
Steady progress after completing my commission. The south doorway was the main public entrance to the Minster, possibly from the 11th century. It faces the main gate to the town, at the end of Stonegate, which is roughly aligned with one of the main streets of the Roman fortress. These days the public are admitted through the doorway in the north west tower, as this is better for visitor circulation, and exit through this doorway. It was remodelled by George Edmund Street between 1871 and 1880. Various other changes at this time, including the rebuilding of the pinnacles at the corners of the transept facade. I am drawing with a Pentel 0.3mm mechanical pencil and Tombow Mono Zero eraser on A4 cartridge paper from a sketchbook.
