Beverley St Mary's Church - art and stained glass workshops
St Mary's Church, North Bar Within, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU17 8DL
St Mary's Beverley is one of the two amazing Grade I listed churches that dominate this ancient market town. It was established around 1150 as a chapel dependent on the Minster and it served those who lived and worked at the north end of the town. From the exterior it looks like a medieval church, but in reality much of the church ‘fell down’ in 1520, and the restoration of the western part, completed in 1531 (the date on the huge font), was a Tudor achievement, with some of those who funded this recorded in carvings above the nave pillars, the most famous being the Minstrels’ pillar near the pulpit. Further east, in the choir, are 15th century seats, called misericords, with carvings of angels, legendary stories and even an elephant. Overhead is the famous ceiling of kings of England, first painted in 1445.
There will be art workshops, open to all and a special stained glass workshop (booking required)
