Description
Beverley Minster is one of the most spectacular and impressive of
English non-cathedral churches. It owes its origins to the Saxon St John
of Beverley, who is buried here, though most of what we see today dates
from the 13th and 14th centuries, when Beverley was one of the largest
and wealthiest towns in England and the Minster was a major pilgrimage
centre. Despite a long building programme, the church was constructed in
a consistent architectural style which gives the interior, in
particular, a pleasing harmony. Dr Foyle traces the importance of St
John as both the founder and the inspiration for the continuing
development of the Minster, and the book is lavishly illustrated with
specially commissioned photography.
