With its high sided box pews, in place since the Reformation, Holy Trinity Goodramgate, York is configured for listening; not looking. Come and experience this unique place in a whole new way. The volunteers and staff at Holy Trinity Goodramgate present a tour that engages your senses of hearing, touch and smell. Take a more immersive trip around our 800 year old building - smell the incense and herbs which will take you back to the building's foundation, hear about the beauty and history of the East Window and hold real archaeological discoveries made on site.
