But following the death, all pinnacles were permanently removed from the church.
The inquest had heard the same pinnacle fell from the 14th-century church a decade earlier in stormy weather and was repaired.
York Coroner Donald Coverdale said: "I'm hopeful church architects, stone masons and all those involved in the care of the fabric of churches throughout the country will have taken careful note of this incident and will keep a weather eye open for any potential danger from ancient buildings."
