How Many Doors?

This is the impressive main entrance into Holy Trinity church on Micklegate, the large  door is usually open and I had not noticed the door within a door until this recent visit. It is certainly large enough for me to step comfortably through.

Priory Remains

This is a view of Holy Trinity Church on Micklegate that suggests this building was once much larger. Indeed the church is all that remains of a Bendictine Priory church that was set in a seven acre monastic precinct. The present building formed a part of  the nave of Micklegate Priory.

A Message of Hope

This wonderful old stone is a grave marker from the churchyard of Holy Trinity in Goodramgate. Nowadays it is usually the relatives of the deceased who choose the wording on the gravestone. This appears to have been chosen by the deceased himself with the intention of leaving a comforting and hopeful message to his wife.
Go Home Dear Wife, and shed no Tears,
I must lie here til Christ appears;
And, at his Coming, hope to have
A Joyful Rising from the Grave.
