Visitors to Beverley Minster follow a long tradition. John of Beverley, bishop of York from 706, was revered as a holy man with gifts of teaching and healing. He founded a monastery on the site of the Minster and was buried in a chapel there in 721. After he became a saint in 1037, pilgrims visited the site and a larger church was built in the Norman style. This was replaced in the 13th century by the present building where the bones of Saint John were laid to rest.
21st century pilgrims visit Beverley Minster in their thousands to worship, to be inspired by the building, to light a candle, to pray, to attend a concert or an exhibition, to buy a present at the shop or to join us for food.
