Beverley Minster in the city of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire in northeast England. This medieval Gothic Minster owes its origin and much of its importance to Saint John of Beverley, who founded a monastery here around 700 AD and whose bones still lie beneath a plaque in the nave. After a serious fire in 1188, the reconstruction was overambitious and the newly heightened central tower collapsed in 1213, bringing down much of the surrounding church. Work on the present structure began around 1220 and took around 200 years to complete.
