The Minster is set in a lovely peaceful corner of Beverley just a few minutes walk from the centre. Guided tours can be arranged and sound to be most interesting. The displays inside the Minster are normally very good and well laid out.

The Minster was a beautiful church with an interesting history that the volunteers are happy to share. We had been advised to take the roof tour. What an interesting afternoon we had. To add to the atmosphere there was a wedding in the choir while we were there. We tried to make sure we weren't too rowdy in the roof!... More

We attended a Sunday morning service. The congregation made us feeling most welcome. The service was great. The 'message' and singing were inspiring.

I live within 15 miles of the Minster and yet it must be 10 years since I last visited...WHY? This must be one of the most outstanding buildings in Europe! Unlike the great mass of either York or Lincoln, Beverley Minster is just so exquisite. Slight and elegant by comparison you might imagine it was designed by a woman. The... More

This is an excellent visit for people who like wandering around historic buildings. Architecturally very beautiful, the stonework has some interesting detail. The reredos is especially attractive and has an interesting history. There are some interesting chapels too within the church, and the minster is home to the now disbanded East Yorks regiment and its colours which have been left... More

Before this visit,I hadn't realised the importance of the minster, or of the town itself in past times. A beautiful building with so much lovely detail. The artisan textile banners near the shop explain the history of the place and the importance of the part played by John of Beverley. Enjoyed the embroideries by local group and the etched glass...
