Howden Minster, Medieval church building in Howden, England
The Grade I listed Minster Church features a 41-meter crossing tower, extensive ruins of choir sections, and an octagonal chapter house with decorative shields.
The church received collegiate status in 1267 when the Bishop of Durham established a college of priests and endowed it with six nearby parish churches.
Medieval artworks within the church include a 14th-century stone carving of Madonna and Child, brass knight memorial from 1480, and remaining period statues.
The parish church section welcomes visitors daily between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM, while the external choir ruins remain visible from the outside.
The chapter house represents the final octagonal structure of its type constructed in England, displaying carved stone panels above the original canon meeting benches.
