Minster Description
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. In spite of the mingling of styles the general effect is harmonious, thanks largely to the magnificent carving of the stonework. The west doorway features figures of the Evangelists (early 18th century). The window above them is in nine sections and is elaborately decorated. The north doorway dates from the early 15th century
