Beneath York's medieval minster lies The Undercroft, a museum containing a number of Viking crosses and artefacts (notably the Horn of Ulf), as well as the York Gospels, a Saxon manuscript written in 1020. The minster itself is built on the site where Constantine the Great was acclaimed Emperor by the Roman army in 306 AD. Other notable features are the Crypt of Saint William and the Norman Doomstone.
