Probably the finest of York's medieval Churches, and the site of many visions of the Virgin Mary. The Chancel roof (supported by a re-used Roman Column) features spectacular painted angels carved in 1470. In the north aisle are two famous stained glass windows. The first, called 'The Corporal Acts of Mercy' (c1410) portrays a good man as he visits the sick, clothes the naked and feeds the hungry. The next, called 'The Pricke of Conscience'(1410), is the medieval equivalent of a horror movie and depicts the last 15 days of the world. In one window on the south aisle keen-eyed visitors may even spot a man wearing medieval spectacles!
