The most popular tourist attraction in East Yorkshire and the most important building in Beverley’s history.
Beverley Minster is one of the finest parish churches in the country. It has been a site of pilgrimage and worship for 1300 years and is one of the oldest gothic structures in Britain. Larger than one third of all cathedrals and regarded as one of the most beautiful non-cathedrals in the UK, it is still a working parish church.
The building contains the remains of St John of Beverley (once patron saint to the Royal Family), the largest collection of 16th century misericord seats in Britain, internationally-famous stone carvings and figures and many exquisite works of statuary as well as the chair belonging to the fattest vicar in England.
Featured recently on BBC programmes including Antiques Roadshow and Songs of Praise the Minster also offers unique all-weather tours in the roof, including demonstrations of the largest surviving treadwheel crane in Britain.
