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. It was described by Sir John Betjeman as "Victorian Gothic at its very best" Situated on the site of the Roman fort of Danum, a section of the Roman wall can be viewed in the grounds of the Minster. The Minster is richly decorated outside and inside with stone carvings and their is a magnificent reredos at the High Altar. Do not miss the first class stained glass windows and the wonderful Schulze organ on your visit.

I came here on a cold night. After seeing it advertised on my local tv news. I love to see it all lit up outside, so it made a nice change to see how it would look all lit up inside. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The people around the building were very friendly and the lighting event was fab. Plus on my way home I managed to see the Mansion house lit up outside too. Looking equally as good.
