BEVERLEY MINSTER, located in the EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE, near HULL in the UK, is the CHRISTIAN Parish Church of ST JOHN and St Martin.
JOHN, Bishop of York, founded a monastery on the site where BEVERLEY MINSTER stands. KING ATHELSTAN in 937, on his way to fight the Scots,
left his army to vist the tomb of ST JOHN. The GOTHIC CHURCH is one of the best NORTH EAST VISTOR ATTRACTIONS, in the EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE and is a centre
for NORTH EAST CHRISTIAN WORSHIP in the UK. It is a place of pilgrimage and continues to be a place of PRAYER and WORSHIP at the heart of the CHRISTIAN community in the EAST RIDING of
YORKSHIRE. BEVERLEY MINSTER is not just a YORKSHIRE VISITOR ATTRACTION, but a place of worship to rejoice in Christ, a community of love to reflect in Christ and a
light to the world to reveal Christ. ST JOHN was one of the leaders of the Northumbrian Church, after conversion to CHRISTIANITY, and was for a time the Bishop of Hexham
He was canonized by the Pope in 1037 as ST JOHN of BEVERLEY. THE MINSTER has 68 MISERICORDS - the largest number of any church in the country and are fine examples of
MEDIEVAL CARVING. There are a number of RELIGIOUS ORGANISATIONS that reach out to the BEVERLEY MINSTER CONGREGATION, from BELL RINGING and FLOWER ARRANGING to the
MINSTER WALKERS who enjoy the EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE countryside.

The Choir
The boys, ladies and gentlemen of the choir sing at all the major services on Sundays and also on Thursday night at Choral Evensong. A music list is available to download. Although the Minster is a Parish Church and has no choir school, the aim is to maintain a standard of singing at least the equal of a cathedral choir. CDs are available from the Minster Shop. The choir members are dedicated to giving of their best in worship and to achieve this they rehearse before and after services. Anyone interested in joining the choir should contact the Director of Music - Robert Poyser by filling in a contact form to the Parish Centre.
