Visitors to what is believed to be England's oldest "living convent" in York are being invited to follow in the footsteps of residents from the last 150 years.
A living convent is defined as one with a continuously resident religious community - and York's Bar Convent was established as far back as 1686.
The floor in the convent's Winter Garden, which was created in 1867, is one of only two surviving examples from tile makers George and Arthur Maw.
It was made for the religious order of sisters living in the Grade I listed building at the time, and now forms part of the cafe in the Bar Convent Heritage Centre.
The space - which was originally an outdoor yard but is now covered by a cast iron beamed roof - also features the designs of railway architect GT Andrews.
A spokeswoman for the Bar Convent said members of the public visiting the Winter Garden in the coming weeks could experience how it was originally used by the sisters.
"The Winter Garden is the ideal setting, now the colder weather and autumnal light is coming, for people to enjoy some autumnal activities and warming homemade food, just like the sisters would have done 150 years ago," she said.
And Sister Ann Stafford, convent superior, said: "We are incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful space in the Bar Convent.
"The Winter Garden has offered a peaceful sanctuary to the sisters that have lived here over the years. It remains so for the sisters that still live here today and for all those who visit us."
