Victorian Gothic Architecture at its Best
Doncaster Minster, Church Street, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 1RD
The Minster Church of Saint George, Doncaster stands at the heart of the town of Doncaster, where a church has stood for over 8 centuries. The present church was built to the designs of George Gilbert Scott between 1854-1858, after the mediaeval church was destroyed by fire in 1853. Amongst its treasures are a clock by Dent (the designer of the Palace of Westminster Clock, more usually known as Big Ben) and a spectacular five manual organ by the renowned German organ builder Edmund Schulze.
