Discover a romantic tradition from historic York. The 'The Heart of Yorkshire' is one of the most famous stained glass windows adorning the majestic gothic cathedral, York Minster. A local tradition asserts that a couple who kiss under the Heart of Yorkshire will stay together forever. This collection recreates the flowing lines of romantic tracery.
