Beverley - Minster 
|
|
The impressive Minster on the south side of Beverley was built between 1220 and 1420. The 334ft/102m-long cathedral was founded by St John of Beverley, Bishop of York (d. 721). The choir and double transepts were completed in the mid-13th century and are in the purest Early English style. The nave, begun in 1308, is mainly Decorated; the west front with its twin towers, adorned with statues, is Perpendicular.
