Snow settles on York like a held breath and the Minster takes the weight without bending
In the clean winter light its long labour of hands and prayers reads sharp as a map
York lies stitched in white and the Minster stands above it like a mast in still air
Each buttress catches the pale sun and the whole city feels briefly old and new
A thin snow-veil smooths the streets yet every pinnacle keeps its hard intent
The Minster lifts from the hush as if daylight itself were learning to sing
Winter makes a quiet stage of roofs and lanes and leaves the Minster unafraid
Time circles its towers and finds no door that will not open into awe
White roofs crowd close but the Minster holds its space like a great calm thought
Cold light finds every carved edge and turns distance into detail
York is muted under snow and the Minster’s spine of stone runs sure through the frame
Above the bare trees it gathers the sky and gives it back as grace
The Old Palace is also known as the Minster Library and is in Dean's Park part of the grounds of York Minster; It houses the Minster’s library. Its name is a new one and renders homage to the part of the building that used to be the chapel of the Archbishop of York, which was built in the 13th century. It was refurbished in 1810 and shortly thereafter became the home of the Minster library. Notable items held in the collection include cathedral records dating to back to 1150 and a copy of the 1631 Wicked Bible. It is a Grade I listed building.

Lincoln Arboretum a 22 acres park designed and laid out between 1870 and 1872 by the celebrated Victorian gardener Edward Milner and listed as Grade II importance by English Heritage. Off Monks Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
It is located on land that was given to the abbey of St Mary at York after the Norman Conquest; the land was acquired by the city after the dissolution of St Marys Abbey in the 1530s.
Following the national trend of providing public parks, and with the closure of the nearby Temple Gardens, which had operated on a semi-public basis, the Lincoln Commons Act (1870) was passed. Monks Leys Common, located to the east of the city, was purchased by the Corporation through Act of Parliament. Authorisation was also given to sell 3 acres (1.2 ha) of the land for residential building purposes to help fund the layout and construction of the Arboretum, which would become Lincoln's first truly public park.
The Arboretum has a lodge at its west entrance on Monks Road, and has three terraces of housing adjoining it to its western edge: Arboretum View, Monks Leys Terrace, and Woodland View.
As well as the whole park being listed, five of the features in the park are graded as Grade II Listed buildings:
The bandstand. A cast Iron structure of 1884.
The telephone kiosk. A type K6 designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
The Shelter. A Late C19 Cast-iron sheet metal structure made by Lockerbie & Wilson of Birmingham.
The Lion statue. Made larger than life size in 1872 by Austin & Seeley
The Cafe. Gate lodge and refreshment room. 1872. Probably designed by Edward Milner
The Arboretum reopened on 19 September 2003, following £3 million worth of restoration work to bring it back to its original state. Works have included: overhauling and improving the facilities at Abbey Lodge to provide a community access centre and visitor tea rooms, restoration of the Victorian bandstand, new period railings, restoration of a cast iron folly, new asphalt footpaths, refurbished gardens and extensive replanting, the introduction of a new children's maze, resurfacing of the major terrace feature, refurbishment of the ponds and bridges, underpinning and replacement of the stone steps, new lighting columns, installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV), refurbishment of the children play area, restoration of the lion statue and restoration of the two fountain features.
