A day after it unexpectedly rang out the Christmas bells, York Minster had to close.

A power cut at the cathedral meant that it shut its doors to the public.

The Minster authorities announced the problem via social media. In an update on its Facebook page later they posted:

Unfortunately in the interests of public safety York Minster will be closed for the remainder of the day including Evensong which is now cancelled. Apologies for any inconveniences caused.

Due to power cut, we have had to close the Minster to the public. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

We are sorry there will be no Choral Evensong @York_Minster this evening because of the power cut and safety of the public.

— York Minster Choir (@YorkMinChoir) December 23, 2016

It came only hours after volunteer bell ringers rang out a Christmas peal – the first time the bells had been heard since the Minster’s own team were disbanded in October.
