At York Minster, we’re shaping the future of heritage conservation. As a world leader in traditional crafts, we’re committed to pioneering the use of the latest digital technologies to help us protect, preserve and sustain our past.

Luke, our Digital Surveyor, plays a vital role in this transformation. Using high‑precision 3D scanners, he creates incredibly detailed digital models of our centuries‑old masonry, architecture and artefacts. These innovations open the door to new restoration techniques and new ways for people to experience the Minster’s history.
