Visit York Minster, the church that dominates the York skyline. The congregation of this church is recorded to have begun in the year 627 when a wooden church was built to baptize Edwin, the King of Northumbria. The present structure was built with the intent to rival that of Canterbury, and construction began in 1220 with consecration and formal completion in 1472. Did it make the mark in its competition with Canterbury? You can be the judge of that, but there may be a reason that the two Arch Bishops of the Church of England preside from Canterbury and York.
