	Beverley Minster
		The shrine of St John of Beverley, patron saint of the deaf and dumb, was housed in the Minster and attracted many pilgrims, particularly in the 13th and 14th centuries.
		Beverley began to decline by 1400, as the lucrative cloth industry moved to the West Riding of Yorkshire and the Reformation of the 16th century removed the army of employees that went with a powerful collegiate church.
		The 18th and 19th centuries saw a revival in Beverley's fortunes, as the town became a magnet for the East Riding gentry, and the centre of local government.

	Beverley Minster
		A collegiate church at Beverley, capital of the East Riding of Yorkshire, served by a chapter of secular canons until the Reformation.
		The foundation owes its origin to St. John of Beverley early in the eighth century, when the locality was a clearing in the forest of Deira (Indrawood), afterwards known as Beverlac (A.S. Beoferlic), a name possibly due to the colonies of beavers in the river Hull.
		Its banner was placed on the standard at the "battle of the Standard" (1138), and it was further honoured after the victory of Agincourt, which was won on the feast of the translation of St. John (25 October, 1415), and was attributed by Henry V to that saint's intercession (Lyndwode, "Provinciale", II, "Anglicanae").

	Beverley Minster
		The wonderful peal of the Beverley Minster bells calling the faithfull to worship on a Sunday morning will be forever engraved on my memory, and must have provided much comfort as he spent his last days in the shadow of the Minster.
		The sound of Beverley Minster Organ is distinctive and is surely an inspiration to those who are priviliged to be able to worship in such a gloriously beautiful setting.
		The consideration which the Minster clergy have for the spiritual well-being of the community was brought home to me when I found that a section of the church to the right of the main altar has been roped off, and signs indicate that it is reserved for silence, contemplation and prayer.

		In the middle years of the eighteenth century a thorough restoration of Beverley Minster was undertaken.
		Thanks to them the Minster organ has more Snetzler pipework than any other organ and this, combined with some of the best of Hill's work, gives it a quality and nobility of sound that is unique among large-scale English organs.
		Like Beverley Minster itself, the organ is of European significance and thanks to the hard work and generosity of so many and the professional expertise of Philip and David Wood and their team of craftsmen, it is now able to resume its place in the life and worship of the Minster.

		Beverley has no natural features to give it any attractiveness, for it stands on the borders of the level plain of Holderness, and towards the Wolds there is only a very gentle rise.

		The canopy is composed of sumptuously carved stone, and while it is literally encrusted with ornament, it is designed in such a masterly fashion that the general effect, whether seen at a distance or close at hand, is always magnificent.
