Also visit the undercroft below! The tower was strengthened with new concrete foundations using over 400 steel rods to bind it. While work was underway, archaeologists were allowed to dig trenches revealing yet more fascinating history now in the undercroft museum.
Still working off your Christmas tummy? Then head to the city of York and climb the 275 steps of the central tower of @YorkMinster You'll be at the highest point of the city with the best views. #JanuaryWorkoutChallenge
