Simon Delaney, surveyor for the Beverley Minster Old Fund, said: "It is going to cost a couple of thousand of pound minimum just for the scaffolding alone and then of course it is the work that will go into fixing it.
"We will need to measure for the new glass and then that will need to go back in. The annoying thing is is we only had that particular window refitted a couple of years ago.
"It's going to be quite a challenge to get this all fixed, but thankfully no-one was hurt and thankfully it wasn't an elderly person's home targeted."
