Welcome to Beverley Minster!

Beverley Minster has a long and rich history, and we invite you to explore the building and its fascinating past through this website.

In 2021 we commemorate the 1,300th anniversary of the death of St John of Beverley in 721. He founded a monastery on the site of the present Minster and after his death was venerated by pilgrims and monarchs alike.

Beverley Minster is also has a long association with sanctuary, and this website was developed as part of the Sanctuary Project during 2020/2021.
