Beverley Minster is the Parish Church of St. John and St. Martin. John, bishop of York, founded a monastery on the site where the Minster now stands. John died in 721 and his body was buried on the site. He was canonised in 1037 and the present church was built around his tomb between 1220 and 1425.
