Have visited the Minster before but as we were staying in Beverley for a few days we had the opportunity to spend longer exploring this wonderful building and its many artifacts. We were lucky to also manage to get tickets to visit the roof of the building where you can see how the it was constructed and its early and more recent areas of renovation. Our guides on the roof tour were Graham and Sue and they were splendid. There was nothing that they didn't know about this building and spent over an hour ensuring that we all had the opportunity to take photographs and ask as many questions as we liked. They were also a hysterical double act!! We could wax lyrical about the Minster itself but there really is only one way to appreciate it and that is to come and see it for yourselves. It has everything you could ask for including great historical items such as the tomb of Henry Percy and great relics including the grave of St John of York. The Guides in the Minster are super too as they point out all the things that you would miss if you were not aware such as the carved Head of Edward I and his wife the stone musicians and the upside down archer. A real delight! No admission, only donation, which is unusual these days, guides that truly are enthusiastic about your visit and a great little shop too. If you're in the area don't miss it!!

This 15th century structure is the last surviving brick built defensive gate surviving in the UK. It’s a major feature in Beverley, not least because of its impact on traffic in the town. It’s an iconic reminder of our less secure past and well seeing.

6. Beverley Guildhall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 28 reviews
This historic building represents over 500 years of Beverley's civic pride. Based on a medieval open hall building and substantially re-modelled in 1762 the stunning Georgian courtroom has a beautiful stucco plasterwork ceiling created by Giuseppe Cortese. The magistrates' room has a collection of 17th century oak furniture and the refined parlour, traditionally used to entertain civic dignitaries, now holds a collection of civic silver, the most significant of which are the 15th century ceremonial waits' chains. The Guildhall now also hosts the Beverley Community Museum where you can explore the history of the town through a collection of photographs and social history objects and the programme of temporary social history exhibitions that run throughout the year.

Would not have known that you could visit this wonderful building had it not been for the Tourist Information Office who were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on what to see in Beverley. We were so very pleased they recommended it as it really was a great place to see. The guides there also were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and if they didn't know the answer to your question they went off and looked it up for you. The place itself has a wonderfully ornate ceiling in the court room and has been in many Film and TV production, the latest of which was 'Death Comes to Pemberley.' It's even good for the children as there are judges robes and wigs that they can dress up in and preside over the court. A really super place to visit.

There is a proper hard top path on both sides of this tree lined beck that contains numerous fish such as pike and roach, water lilies and other aquatic plants. It leads to a lock and lock keepers lodge at its joins the R. Hull that is also a delightful quite walk.
