Opis
Stroll the city and discover how colour, light, and history shape York’s stained glass. Enter historic churches and see centuries-old craftsmanship still shining today.
Step into York’s rich and colourful past on the Shambles & Shards walking tour, a gentle journey through the city’s historic streets told through the glowing art of stained glass. This tour invites you to slow down, look up, and discover how light, colour, and craft have shaped York for centuries.
Led by a professional stained glass conservator, you’ll explore the artistry and significance behind York’s remarkable windows, from medieval masterpieces to later restorations. Along the way, you’ll step inside historic churches and sites, where stained glass still flickers with meaning, revealing stories of faith, power, symbolism, and survival.
As you wander through the Shambles and beyond, you’ll learn how stained glass was made, why it mattered, and how it has been preserved against time, war, and weather. Expect tales of craftspeople, hidden details most visitors miss, and the quiet magic of windows designed to be read in light.
The pace is relaxed and welcoming, with small group sizes that allow for conversation, questions, and close-up moments. No prior knowledge is needed — whether you’re a history buff, an art lover, or simply curious, the storytelling is engaging and accessible.
This tour offers a fresh way to experience York’s cultural heritage: not just as something to pass through, but something to pause with, admire, and enjoy. If you love discovering the overlooked details that bring a city to life, this is a walk worth taking.
