January 27th 2024, City of York, North Yorkshire, England, UK.  The picturesque Holy Trinity Church, is tucked away behind the main streets of the City of York, where it has stood since the late 12th century.  \n\nIt can now be seen in its fascinating Post Reformation splendour, by any passers by, who are free to walk in and admire its fascinating and ancient architecture, this without any entrance fee charge being required. \n\nThis picture shows a very old wooden memorial board on the church wall, containing  a bequest from Mrs Thornhil, who specifically wanted four poor girls of the parish to receive a good education.\n\nPhotography at the church is positively encouraged, this confirmed when I asked the kindly church warden there for permission to shoot.
