Three churches have been on this site: one from the late 11th century and another built in the 12th century. The current Church of All Saints Pavement was constructed during the 14th century. The crown-shaped, Gothic lantern of the West Tower was added in 1400. The elegant, stained-glass windows date from the 14th, 19th and 21st centuries. The latest was added in 2015 to honor those who died while serving in Afghanistan. Historically, this Church of England parish has been designated as the Guild Church plus York’s Civic Church. As a result of the latter, over 30 Lord Mayors are buried here. It is also the Regimental Church serving the Royal Dragoon Guards.
