York Minster: a hands-free portrait

Meet one of the permanent residents of York Minster in England. Unfortunately I don’t know his name so I can’t introduce you properly… and anyway, shaking hands might be a bit problematical.

 

Looking at his attire, I’d hazard a guess and say he’s a Tudor gentleman, so he’s been in residence at the Minster for 500 years or more. I’ve no idea how he lost his hands – and, judging by the look of surprise on his face, neither has he.

 

But he’s rather a well-dressed chap, isn’t he (just look at that ruff!), and probably a man of some standing, given his position within one of the most magnificent cathedral churches in England.
