York Minster appeal blessed by backing of Prince Charles – The Yorkshire Post says
Take York Minster and the £5.2m still needed to repair the historic St Cuthbert’s Window – time is not on the side of this magnificent masterpiece if it is to be preserved and restored.
But the absence of congregations, coupled with the decision to make 55 staff redundant, shows the extent to which even York Minster, a symbol of hope, has not been immune from Covid’s many consequences. As such, it is hoped benefactors do come forward and the appointment of the Prince of Wales as the patron of the York Minster Fund is timely.
