York Minster Lamp Standard is a lamp standard that is located a short distance in front of the main entrances to York Minster. It is a Grade II listed structure, erected around 1860.[1]
The lamp was manufactured by York's Walker Iron Foundry in Walmgate. It is made of cast iron, in an octagonal column, with trefoil-headed panelled sides surmounted by a tapering octagonal shaft on a moulded pedestal. It has a plain cross bar and cusped and traceried spandrels. Its two lanterns are square and tapering, with acorn finials.[1]
