Illuminating York Minster

BBC documentary series goes behind the scenes at York Minster

TV viewers will get the chance to see behind the scenes of one of Britain’s great historic buildings today.

A small team from the BBC filmed at York Minster for most of 2013 – capturing the unsung heroes whose work ensures the largest medieval Gothic cathedral north of the Alps is kept open and vibrant for all to enjoy.

The results will be seen in the first of a three-part documentary series called The Minster which starts this Sunday at 4.45pm on BBC One (Yorks and Lincs and North East).
