Abseiling conservation work at York Minster

Abseiling conservation work at York Minster. The work is being carried out on York minster by Heritage Stone Access. York residents and visitors to the city may have spotted an unusual sight outside York Minster this week -- two people abseiling down the cathedral's 180 foot tower. The abseiling is part of essential maintenance work to inspect and remove weathered pieces of stone from the tower's east and south faces.
