INSIDE HOWDEN MINSTER IN THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE

The inside of Howden Minster turned out to be a beautiful surprise, quite small for a minster but so nice, the big red banner was the first thing I saw and then the stunning stained glass windows, I must have had my eyes shut not to have noticed them before the banner.

The glass so I understand was made in Belguim I was told that is the reason for them retaining such vivid colours or colors. Sorry there are only six photos this was due to a private service taking place and i did not want to spoil the service with the click, click, click of my camera.

If you wish to make the photo of the eagle bigger you will see a face in the ball the eagle has it's claws around, it is just a face of someone watching me taking the photo.

Something blue from the grounds of Howden Minster

I saw this on the walls of Howden Minster, for people who do not know this area of the UK the small town of Howden is near to the town of Goole, follow the river Humber up stream from the city of Kingston upon Hull. Or just Goggle Howden UK, also on Goole Earth.

More of the Minster will be posted later a few will be of the beautiful stained glass windows from inside.
