York Minster is the largest gothic cathedral in the UK and normally a couple must have a “connection” to the minster and apply for a special licence to marry there.

A minster spokesperson said the couple had “fulfilled” the qualifying criteria.

Miss Goulding was raised in Herefordshire, however Mr Jopling has strong connections to Yorkshire.

His father is the Honorable Nicholas Jopling, of Thirsk while his mother Jayne Warde-Aldam and his step-father own Frickley Hall, a Georgian stately home near Doncaster.
