Christ Church, CoUiergate and Kings-square, formerly
called Holy Trinity, King's court, was entirely rebuilt in
1862. Decorated with portions of Perpendicular^—consists of
nave, with aisles, vestry, and tower, in which is a lighted
clock and six bells. The church is very small, and contains
observation.
nothing particularly worthy of
Holy Trinity, Goodramgate, appears to be of great
antiquity. Perpendicular, with Debased windows, three of
which have some stained glass,—consists of nave with aisles,
porch, vestry, and antiquated pews, which carry the mind
back at least a century. It has a low, picturesque-looking
tower, containing three old bells. There is a chapel, opening
from the south aisle, in which is a piscina, and also, so far

new district of St. Mary, Bishophill. It is a brick building
of Early Gothic design, erected in 1874, consisting of nave
and apsidal chancel, having lofty clerestory lights and open
timber roof. The capitals of the pillars are finely sculptured.
The east window is a good specimen of modern stained glass^
by Capronnier, of Brussels. There is a small turret with
one bell. The church will accommodate six hundred persons.
Across the nave and chancel, from the apices of the arches,,
wires of galvanized copper are stretched in order to prevent
the unpleasant effects produced by the echoing sound when
the church is partially filled, an experiment which has here
proved quite successful. This is the first attempt in York to
produce a well-proportioned church capable of holding a
