York Minster is the popular name for the Anglican Cathedral in the City of York in England. It's full, correct name is The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York. An extract from the Minster's web site explains the word "Minster" "Minster Churches are basically churches that were established in the Anglo Saxon period as missionary teaching churches. York Minster is also the Church of the Archbishop of York. He is the most senior bishop in the North of England. It is where he has his seat, called a Cathedra, which makes York Minster a Cathedral as well. Not all Minsters are Cathedrals, and not all Cathedrals are Minsters, but York Minster is both. The present Minster is the largest Gothic Cathedral in northern Europe and was built over a period of 250 years"
