Beverley Minster is not only one of the most significant landmarks in the area, but also one of the finest gothic churches in the country. John, bishop of York and later canonised, founded the original monastery c. 718 on the site now occupied by the Minster. Construction of the building began in 1220 and continued until 1425, with later centuries adding further elements.
A team of masons and skilled craftsmen are still employed to upkeep maintenance and manage repairs. In the middle ages it because a significant place of pilgrimage and sanctuary and continues to be visited by thousands of people from all corners of the world. However, it is also a living parish church and very much at the heart of the community. Whether you are just visiting Beverley for the day or are a longstanding resident, Beverley Minster offers something for everyone, from architectural splendour to spiritual comfort.
