York Minster to charge admission

From the BBC:

A voluntary donation scheme has failed to raise enough money for the cathedral's future spending plans. The Archbishop of York Dr David Hope has said he is "dismayed and saddened" by the decision.

The level of charge has not been confirmed, but voluntary donations were set at £3.50 while Canterbury Cathedral charges £4. . .

Only one in four visitors to the Minster, Europe's biggest mediaeval cathedral, gave a donation last year.
