Catholic Church of St Wilfrid in York, England

A church dedicated to Saint Wilford existed in York in the late 11th century. The building was torn down in 1585, not long after the English Reformation. After that, Catholic services were held in secret until the mid-18th century. Yet it would be another 100 years before they built their “Mother Church of York.” The church’s Gothic Revival design by George Goldie opened in 1864. Adjacent to a 147 foot tower and over the front door of St Wilfrid’s Catholic Church is this magnificent tympanum with high relief sculptures.
