In 1967, surveys of the cathedral’s 197ft Central Tower revealed the 25,000 ton structure was gradually sinking under its own weight, due to poor foundations at its base. The York Minster Fund was established by Roger, Earl of Scarbrough, on 3 April 1967, with its first task to raise funds for work to underpin the tower.
For the last 50 years the Fund has been raising money for a range of projects at York Minster, and in 2007 it became the cathedral’s lead fundraising partner. It raises an average of £1m each year to support ongoing conservation and restoration, as well as the cathedral’s work in music, learning and education.
