St. William's College, York - a photo on Flickriver

St. William's College, York

            Statue and arms above the doorway. The statue represents St. William of York (born William fitzHerbert, a great-grandson of William the Conqueror). He was Archbishop of York from 1141-47, and again in the years 1153-54. 

From the web blog "Ginnels Gates and Ghosts: A Daily Photo from York," entry "St. William's College," 10 October 2011:

"William FitzHerbert was twice Archbishop of York.  On his return to York as Archbishop, [the] Ouse Bridge collapsed as his triumphal procession crossed but no one was killed. This event plus a couple of posthumous miracles led to him being canonized in 1227. This is part of  the doorway to Saint Williams’s college. Dating from 1465 it was built next to the Minster to house the chantry priests. 

"In the 14th and 15th century wealthy citizens could ensure a life of ease in the next world by leaving a sum of money in their will to endow a chantry chapel, and pay for a priest to say a daily mass on their behalf. The arms of St William are on the left and the crossed keys of the See of York on the right."
