Beverley Minster, Gothic collegiate church in Beverley, England.

The church features ornate stone carvings, marble shafts, and twin western towers that rise above the Yorkshire landscape with architectural precision and detail.

The first religious community on this site was established in 700 AD by John of Beverley, while the current Gothic structure began construction in 1225.

The Minster maintains its function as both a parish church and a center for religious ceremonies, preserving centuries of English ecclesiastical traditions.

Entry to the Minster is free, with guided tours available on Wednesdays and Saturdays, offering detailed exploration of the architectural and historical elements.

The church houses one of England's remaining frith stools, an ancient stone chair that provided sanctuary to those seeking legal protection in medieval times.
