Holy Trinity Church Goodramgate York

Approached through a gateway off Goodramgate, Holy Trinity hides in a small, secluded, leafy churchyard, with the Minster towering behind. It is York’s hidden gem a tranquil haven among the busy city streets.

Dating mostly from the 15th century, Holy Trinity is an unpretentious building. The floors are uneven, and the arcades slightly askew. The colour of the stone and the gentle light from the stained glass give warmth and charm to the interior.

The east window has marvellous stained glass. Donated in the early 1470s by the Reverend John Walker, rector of the church, this is a series of five lovely panels. In the central light, below the figures of the Holy Trinity, is the kneeling figure of John Walker himself. There is also a particularly fine representation of St Christopher carrying the Christ Child.

The furnishings date mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The box pews, unique in York, are exceptionally fine and swell around the nave arcades. An interesting collection of monuments and memorials paints a picture of life in this busy city throughout the ages.

Two boards, with heads shaped like grandfather clocks, record the names of Lord Mayors of the city, including George Hudson, ‘The Railway King’, who made York a major railway centre in the 19th century.
