Choir director Chris Goodwin reported that the congregations and audiences were most appreciative and that the boys thoroughly enjoyed singing in these magnificent buildings with their wonderful acoustics.

They also enjoyed sight-seeing around the city of York and a visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre to round off the tour.

Headmaster Tom Bunbury said "I am so proud of the standard of our choirs at Papplewick and it was a privilege for the Chapel Choir to have the opportunity to sing in these wonderful historical venues and to have the opportunity to visit the city of York.
