Fantastic Facts About York Minster

The Chapter House Celing is a complex wooden vaulted structure. Created at the end of the 13th century, the ceiling is unusual for its period in that it is a free vault, unsupported by a central column. The decorative medallion in the center is hand painted with red, blue, green, ivory and gilt. And the central boss, which would have been barely visible from below, is an elaborate, vividly-painted design featuring a lamb and other Christian symbols.
