Of all the royal statues in York Minster, naughty Stephen is the only one who shows his legs. And in a House of God too!

York Minster, again. Note how whilst men may gaze forward, or even upwards with an exalted expression, women must turn their eyes demurely downwards as they await eternity.

One of the few examples in York Minster where a statue is actually reading, rather than holding, a book. This statue is fairly high up (about 3m) and I had to zoom quite heavily in bad light with a fast shutter so it’s nasty and noisy.

Bee. Flower.

Statue of Constantine outside York Minster.

I do like this statue. The nearby tourist plaque informs tourists that “near this place” Constantine was “declared Emperor”; and that his conversion established Christianity in the Western Empire.

It rather fails to mention that he only converted to Christianity some years later — and probably as a pragmatic measure as the Roman army, on which the Emperor’s power depended, was becoming largely Christianized; that Britain itself was not converted until three centuries later; and that the “near this place” would be more accurately given as “in Roman fortress over the remains of which York Minster was much later built”.
