The former Minster School, where a refectory may now be created
YORK Minster has unveiled plans to open a new refectory, ticket and box office in parts of the former Minster School, following its closure earlier this year. The proposals are included in a revised York Minster Neighbourhood Plan, which is going out to a final public consultation. Alex McCallion, director of works and precinct at the cathedral, said that since the original plan was launched in 2018, the coronavirus pandemic had had a significant impact both on the schedule for the consultation process and on the proposals. The process has been on hold since March 2020 in light of the Covid-19 crisis, a key consequence of which has been the closure of the Minster School, he said
