The Minster, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire
A view of the Minster from the south west showing what look like allotments or gardens. Originally the church was founded as a monastery in the 8th century. The building seen today dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The minster is named for St John of Beverley whose tomb drew large numbers of pilgrims to the church. The Minster was allowed to survive dissolution in 1548 because as well as being a collegiate church it had also served as a parish church.
