A new exhibition has been revealed at York Minster. 

It features the story of St William’s life and death, including the alleged miracles he performed (both before and after he died).

St William of York was a 12^th century priest and twice Archbishop of York. 

Many aspects of the display have tales of quoted miracles, one being that St William brought people back from the dead. 

It being the 800th anniversary of his canonisation, there is no better time to visit the exhibition.

When asked about why someone should go to visit, Minster worker Megan Jones says, “The exhibition offers a captivating, high tech experience centered on the mystery of St William’s death and the art of storytelling is shown when walking through the Minster”. 

Visitors can expect to see rare fragments of St William’s 13^th century shrine which was returned to the York Minster for the first time in nearly 500 years. 

Megan Jones says the Minster wanted to, “honour York’s forgotten Saint and the impact that he had on the Minster’s history and development over the years”. 

The St William of York exhibition was opened to the public earlier this year and is expected to run until 3^rd January 2027.
