We continue our look at some of York's ancient churches and their history.
Holy Trinity Church in Goodramgate dates back to the 12th century. By the 1960s it had become redundant and it was restored in the mid-1970s.
It was famous for having some of the best examples of 17th century wood work in England.
All Saints', Pavement, was a Norman church built in the 15th century. It was famous for its lantern tower which guided travellers coming into York.
In the mid-1990s it underwent a £350,000 restoration.
Trinity Chapel, in Acomb, was a Methodist church which opened in 1879. It is now used as a carpet warehouse.
St John's Church, Micklegate, was restored and made into the headquarters of the York Institute of Architectural Study in the mid-1950s. York Cemetery Chapel, built in 1837, was restored by York Cemetery Trust. The chapel in York Cemetery was in a dilapidated state in this 1977 picture. It was later renovated by York Cemetery Trust and is now open by prior arrangement
