York Minster Lamp Standard is a lamp standard 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 and features an octagonal column with trefoil-headed panelled sides, surmounted by a tapering octagonal shaft on a moulded pedestal. It has a plain crossbar and cusped, traceried spandrels. Its two lanterns are square and tapering, with acorn finials.[1]
