St Mary's Church, Castlegate, York, Medieval church in Castlegate, York, England
St Mary's Church features a 47-meter-tall steeple, making it the highest church tower among York's medieval religious buildings.
The structure combines elements from different periods, with foundations dating to the 11th century and substantial modifications completed in the 15th century.
The church interior once displayed ornate wall paintings, carved wooden screens, and stained glass before changes during the 16th-century Reformation.
The building now functions as an art exhibition space managed by York Museums Trust, receiving over 28,000 visitors annually.
A dedication stone inside the church bears inscriptions of three Anglo-Saxon founders: Efrard, Grim, and Aese.
