York Minster

            This is the Quire at York Minster, England, the second-largest Gothic cathedral of Northern Europe. The present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472.

The Quire was built between 1361 and the 1420s, although much of the original structure was destroyed by fire in 1829. The blaze completely destroyed the Quire including its medieval panelling, stalls, roof and the Grand Organ. The instrument is believed to have dated in part from 1632.

As part of the rebuilding work at the Minster after the fire, a new Grand Organ was commissioned in 1829, and parts of this instrument still exist today. A donation of £3,000 paid for most of the cost of the new organ and its "gingerbread gothic" style case which sits above the Quire Screen. 

In 2018 a major 3-year, £2m refurbishment began on the organ, the first on this scale since 1903. The majority of the 100 display pipes in the main organ casing have been brought back into use for the first time in more than 100 years.
