[Saturday 21 September 2019]
York: Jorvik, Minster and Barley Hall
Janet wrote: “I lay awake until almost 4am — then may have had a couple of hours’ [sleep]. May [have had]! [I got] up [at] 7am. It had been light at
ca.6.30am. We could hear a robin singing.” I got up after Janet vacated the bathroom; shaved as best as I could in the not-quite-adequate light, hoping I’d got it all and that no stray hairs remained; and showered. I had difficulty getting the rate of flow right. There was a dial to control the flow, and a lever to control the temperature, but moving one seemed to affect the other. Eventually, I got the temperature about right, but the rate of flow was rather high, and the shower tray with its inadequate drain was filling up alarmingly. Another niggle about the shower was that it had a fixed, overhead spray; we’d have preferred an adjustable shower head in the form of a detachable handset.
We went down for breakfast ca.8am. At the foot of the stairs was a corridor to left and right; off the corridor to the right was the breakfast room, where we found tables set and chose one, and off the corridor to the left was a room where fruit juices,
Kellogg’s cereals in single-serve packets, milk, and preserves in little single-serve jars were found. I had orange juice and corn flakes, and as I was consuming these in the breakfast room, the lady (“a bit scary,” we agreed later) took our breakfast order. One the items on the menu was “Full English Breakfast”, so I asked for “partial English breakfast”: bacon, sausages and baked beans. There were diagonally-cut slices of white and brown toast in a rack, so I went back to the other room and got a little jar of marmalade. I also had black coffee.
After reporting the faulty shower drain and going back to the room, we left the hotel
ca.9.30am in order to get to the “Jorvik Viking Centre” before it would open at 10am. Its precise location wasn’t quite clear on the little “pop-out” map we’d bought yesterday; anyway, we found it along a pedestrian street off Coppergate (“Coppergate Walk”). There were moderate queues of people already waiting.

“Jorvik Viking Centre”
These took the form of a short line of people who’d pre-booked entry and a longer line of us who hadn’t, so I was a bit surprised that some of us were let in before some of them. We spent £25: a concessionary rate for us as pensioners of £10 each, and £5 for a “Souvenir
Guidebook” [from which words in quotes in image-captions below are taken]. There was some procedure for “gift-aiding” our contribution, which I consented to. I’m familiar with this means for charities, e.g. churches, to claw back income tax that one has paid; but in this context, to be asked came as a
surprise.[i] The same thing happened at other places afterwards,
e.g. the Minster.
- [i] In fact, the Jorvik Viking Centre, according to the
small print on the back of the Souvenir Guidebook, is “a registered
charity in England & Wales (№509060) and Scotland
(SCO42846)”.

After passing through the “Discover Coppergate” section, which had staff in Viking costumes on hand to answer questions—

“Discover Coppergate”: reconstruction of an area of the dig as it appeared to the archaeologists who worked on it
—we boarded a “time car”, equipped with individual loudspeakers behind each passenger and a flat-panel display in front, which took us around a reconstruction of the city containing lifelike animatronic mannequins in life-size dioramas depicting Viking life in 960AD.

In the first of the dioramas passed by the “time car”, the Viking bowman said, “Wilkom in Jorvik!”
“Stor takk!” I said back to him, having seen this in the credits of a Norwegian movie.

Last image on the car’s flat-panel display
“Jorvik Viking Centre” is not billed as a “museum”; but after the “time car” ride, we came to a museum area with exhibits in glass cases: artefacts, and indeed a couple of skeletons. There were again staff clad in Viking costumes. One was playing a type of lyre, and then he was talking to me and another man about it.
Sunday 22 September 2019 — 10:49:18
“The Galleries”
It occurred to me that I should have asked about the word “Jórvík”: is it a whole word? or is it a compound like “Reykjavík” and “Lerwick”, where “vík”/“wick” means
“bay”?[ii]
- [ii] If the Wiktionary entry “Jórvík” is correct, the name comes not from Norse but Old English; so the “vík” comes from
“wic”, which can also mean “settlement”.
Janet wanted a drink (“We were both thirsty,” according to
Janet’s journal), but the one or two cafés on Coppergate Walk and environs at which she enquired didn’t stock what she wanted:
Fanta orange. We were heading in a northward direction, for we’d decided to look at the Shambles.
We visited the Marks and Spencer store at 9 Pavement, for Janet
to get a couple of items, and while we were there, I used the in-store ATM to withdraw £60.00. We’d had £50 from the
Yorkshire Bank ATM yesterday, but despite using a debit card, e.g. for entry to Jorvik, we were nevertheless making inroads into that. Because, unlike when using an ATM abroad, we wouldn’t be charged for transactions, we didn’t need to limit the number of withdrawals or to withdraw a large sum at any one time.
From Pavement, we bore left along the Shambles. Seemingly because of a superficial resemblance of the Shambles to Diagon Alley, the first establishments we passed were “Harry Potter”-themed. “The Shambles,”
Janet wrote… “was ruined, in my opinion, by too many shops devoted to Harry Potter [which] spoilt the place.” I was pleased to see that one was holding a “closing down sale”. Hurrah! Anyway, I didn’t take a photo till we’d got past most of them.
Sunday 22 September 2019 — 11:39:00
The Shambles
I recalled the building housing a shrine to Catholic martyr Margaret Clitherow — called by me, with rather short-of-surpassing wit “Margaret Clitoris” — from a previous visit; and we visited it briefly.

It was Janet’s suggestion, when we got to Petergate — Low then High — that we go for a drink to the
Three-Legged Mare. Eschewing the “real ale”, I had a pint of Estrella Damm.
Janet had a lemonade with blackcurrant cordial.

Following Sunday morning services, the Minster was due to open to non-worshipping visitors at 12.30pm, so we joined the line of those who were waiting to be admitted.

Awaiting admittance to York Minster
I wanted to pay £5 extra in order to go up the central tower, but
Janet didn’t. (Both of us thought that an additional £10 each for admission to the Chapter House, was too steep, so we decided against going there.) Anyway, I did obtain a ticket for an ascent of the tower at 1.15pm, in addition to our admission tickets (in total, £27.00), and
Janet didn’t.…

York Minster: waiting in the south transept to ascend the tower
A few people were gathering in the south transept to wait for admission to the tower. The red “battery low” indicator had started to appear in the camera’s viewfinder, and I realised then that I didn’t have my bag with the spare batteries in it; so, not wanting the batteries to fail when I most needed them, I broke ranks and went off in search of
Janet, who did have spare batteries with her. But I couldn’t find her anywhere. Finally, I went in the Minster shop looking for her, then discovered that I couldn’t get back the way I’d come, till the assistant let me back that way. I could have gone around to the main entrance again, for the tickets allow readmission for up to a year, but it was getting near 1.15pm and I didn’t want to run out of time for going up the tower. In fact, unbeknown to me just then,
Janet had left the building:
- …We parted company at ca.1pm [she wrote]. I had a brief look around, then headed outside to… indulge in some “comfort
food”.[v] I found a Caffè Nero and did just that. When I returned, I felt so much better. I continued my look around, then met up with [John] at 2pm….
[v] Janet’s weekly eat-as-she-likes “holiday” from calorie-counting is usually on a Saturday, but for our visit to York she’d decided to make it Sunday.

As Janet mentioned in her journal, our paths crossed at 2pm. We headed southwards for lunch, to
Ye Olde Starre Inne. The weather had turned a bit drizzly.
Sunday 22 September 2019 — 14:05:32
Stonegate, York
Just a pace or two beyond the sign “Ye Olde Starre Inne” that stretches overhead across Stonegate, on the right hand side, there’s a doorway (also signed over it “Ye Olde Starre Inne”) to a narrow passage, leading to the inn.

Actually, it was Janet who had lunch; I wasn’t particularly hungry, and wanted to save what appetite I had for dinner this evening.
Janet had battered halloumi and chips. I did eat some chips that she left. (Can’t remember what beer I had.)

Then we went back to resume our visit to the Minster. I’d been down to the crypt, but
Janet hadn’t, so I revisited that, taking her with me.

Before we left the Minster we visited the shop, where we bought a postcard depicting the Minster and a teddy
bear[vi] wearing a blue “York Minster” sash.
- [vi] I later named him “Eborius” after the 4th century first bishop of Eboracum.

Leaving the Minster, we went back to Stonegate, turning left this time through Coffee Yard to visit Barley Hall, dating from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, and restored 1990–1993. We paid £13, so I guess that was £4 each for entry and £5 for an A4-size, 36-page, quite lavishly produced guidebook.

Barley Hall: great chamber, part of the “Magic & Mystery” exhibition
Towards the end of our visit, in one room — perhaps the first-floor room marked “Parlour” on the “Plan of Barley Hall”, or maybe downstairs from there in the “Tudor School Room” — there was an exhibit showing the Lord’s Prayer; and
Janet remarked that “For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever” was missing. I commented that that wasn’t in the Gospel of Matthew where the original prayer
appears,[vii] and that in Church of England services the prayer was often concluded with “but deliver us from evil”. An older man nearby commented that it was also not in the Latin Mass, and made its first appearance only after the Second Vatican Council. That led to a lengthy conversation about Roman Catholic practices. He was a Catholic layman, but had served in the Mass. I mentioned at one point that I was a “Nonconformist Protestant”. The conversation continued as we left, then for a short while in Stonegate. Before
Janet and I proceeded back along Stonegate, I hesitated as I overheard a phone conversation: it was an American young man, saying that he’d come across a sign saying “No tipping”; evidently, he’d thought at first that it was a reference to the giving of gratuities, not to dumping trash.
- [vii] It wasn’t in the Gospel of Matthew — arguably, for a form of it does appear in the
King James Version text of Matthew 6:13; but it is not “present in the earliest manuscripts of Matthew, representative of the Alexandrian text, although it is present in the manuscripts representative of the later Byzantine text. Most scholars do not consider it part of the original text of Matthew. New translations generally omit it”
(Wikipedia).

We went back to the hotel room. We were both feeling tired and a bit footsore.
Janet made us each a cup of coffee; there was a kettle in the room and cups, and sachets of instant coffee — normal and decaffeinated — and teabags. I’d assumed that
MyFinePix Studio would ignore yesterday’s photos when I came to copy today’s from the camera’s
SD card; but no, it reported that there were 215 photos. So I copied them all to the
WD Elements HDD (17:41–17:42), then deleted the 84 that were from yesterday. Looked at the remaining ones using
Windows Photo Viewer, by which means I also rotated 48 images that needed it (17:47–17:56), and deleted meanwhile two blurred ones. Usually, when I’m taking photos, if I notice one that’s unacceptably blurred, I’ll delete it then and there; but one, taken just before a sufficiently sharp one, had escaped this action. The other one which I deleted, I hadn’t till this point noticed as being unacceptably blurred. Shut down the
Samsung computer, which I’d been using; disconnected the WD Elements HDD from it; connected that to the
Asus computer; and copied the folders containing yesterday’s and today’s photos to the
MicroSD card that I keep plugged into the Asus. For dinner we decided to try the
Hole in the Wall, a few doors down High Petergate towards the Minster on the same side as the
Lamb and Lion. “We rested for a bit, then around 6.30pm went just down the street,”
Janet wrote in her journal. “It was raining heavily, but… no matter.” I had “Hunter’s Chicken”; I can’t remember what
Janet had. “Whilst waiting,” Janet recalls, “we had a drink and looked at the photos [John] had taken so far.” I’d brought the
Asus netbook/tablet with me.

“We were back in the hotel (even heavier rain!) just after 8pm,”
Janet wrote.… I was in bed ca.8.30pm, and Janet came not long afterwards, 8.45pm.
