First, of course, is Beverley Minster. To the squinting eye of a visitor untrained in the vagaries and variants of English Gothic, its long, silvery, high-ceilinged nave is pretty much identical to that of Westminster Abbey. I guess the plan would fray slightly once the happy couple leaves the church. Time to take this wedding reception to the bar. The Beverley Bar, that is, a 15th century brick gate that straddles one of the main shopping streets.

Still, the Georgian quarter, found either side of the Bar, has some places to shop and eat that should occupy you for at least as long as it took to creep the car through the gate and find a parking spot. Four bells were installed in , three of which having been recast and are still used in the Minster.

The chimes for each quarter are rung on the 10 bells in the north-west tower and the melody was composed by organist John Camidge. There have been two major overhauls of the bells, one in and the other in by Taylor of Loughborough. Features of the interior include shafts of Purbeck Marble , stiff-leaf carving and the tomb of Lady Eleanor Percy, dating from around and covered with a richly decorated canopy, regarded by F.

Crossley as one of the best surviving examples of Gothic art. The misericords were probably carved by the so-called 'Ripon school' of carvers and bear a strong family resemblance to those at Manchester Cathedral and Ripon Cathedral. The church contains one of the few remaining Frith Stools also known as Frid Stools, meaning "peace chairs" in England.

Anyone wanting to claim sanctuary from the law would sit in the chair. The chair dates from Saxon times before In the central tower is a massive treadwheel crane which was used to lift building materials to the roof space. It is of medieval origin but has been largely reconstructed. The organ is mounted above a richly carved wooden screen dating from —, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott , and carved by James Elwell of Beverley.

There is a staircase in the north aisle which was used in collegiate times to gain access to the chapter house, since demolished. Improvements to the choir were made during the 16th and 18th centuries, and medieval glass, which was shattered by a storm in , was meticulously collected and installed in the east window in The Thornton family, great craftsmen of the early 18th century, were responsible for the font cover and the west door, and also for saving the church from being completely ruined by the fall of the north wall of the north transept between and Another notable feature is the series of carvings of musicians which adorn the nave, which date to the second quarter of the 14th century.

There is a large, chestnut-coloured organ with bright golden pipes, designed by Dr Arthur Hill in It houses an original manual from the organ built by John Snetzler in , which has been increased to 4 manuals since. The specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
