York Minster fire

The York Minster fire was a blaze that caused severe destruction to the south transept of York Minster, in the city of York, England, on 9 July 1984. Believed to have been started by a lightning strike, the roof burnt for three hours between 1:00 and 4:00 am before it was made to collapse by the fire brigade to stop it spreading to other parts of the minster. It took over £2.25 million to repair the damage, and a rededication ceremony was held in October 1988.
