Dewsbury Minster, Gothic Revival church in Dewsbury, England

The Minster features a tall west tower with an embattled parapet, stone pinnacles, north and south aisles, and medieval stained glass windows.

The north arcade of the church dates from 1220, while architect John Carr designed the tower and north aisle construction around 1767.

The wooden reredos from 1913 displays Christ with twelve apostles, each carrying symbols representing their lives, such as Peter with Heaven's key.

The church opens Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM, with parking spaces available within 250 meters and bicycle storage facilities.

The tower bell, known as Black Tom, rings on Christmas Eve, tolling once for each year since the birth of Christ.
