About Beverley Minster
Beverley Minster is one of the largest and finest parish churches in England, larger than many cathedrals. It stands on the site of a monastery founded by St John of Beverley in the early 8th century, and his tomb lies beneath the nave floor. Most of the present building dates from the 13th and 14th centuries and is celebrated as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in northern Europe. It remains an active Church of England parish in the Diocese of York.
