York became the leading centre of stained glass-making thanks to the techniques used in building York Minster cathedral with its magnificent stained glass windows. The next stop is the Yorkshire Dales, and a visit to the once wealthy Fountains Abbey, the biggest and best preserved in the county, and then on to Durham Cathedral, a difficult if not near impossible journey in medieval times. The lands north of Durham were unknown terrain, and also a hotly contested border between Scotland and England, the border changing hands several times over the years along with nearby Norham castle, and the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
