Britain's What's On Event Guide
Beverley Minster
Heritage Open Day: One of the greatest Gothic buildings in the country, there's always something new to find at the Minster. In 2021 we celebrated 1300 years of this great Grade I listed church, often compared with Westminster Abbey. The roots of Beverley Minster go back to the 8th century when John, Bishop of York, founded a monastery for monks and, in a later source, also nuns, under Abbess Polfrida. John died in the year 721 and was buried in his church; he was canonised in 1037 because of the miracles attributed to him during and after his lifetime. St John of Beverley became the patron saint of the deaf and dumb because he cured a young man who could not hear or speak.
