Summary Description

The church of St Mary, Beverley is one of the most remarkable and fine examples of a late medieval parish church in England. It was built around 1120 to provide a church with purely parochial functions to serve the townspeople of Beverley, as the Minster was controlled from York. It quickly became the focus of the town guilds, and its architectural magnificence a visual symbol of their growing wealth and power. Today, it is the 25th largest parish church in England by footprint.
