St Mary’s was established in the first half of the 12th century as a daughter church of Beverley Minster, to serve Beverley’s trading community. It is a cruciform church, 197 feet in length, with aisled nave and chancel, south transept with east aisle, north transept with east chapel and crypt below, northeast chapel with adjoining sacristy and priests’ rooms above, and a crossing tower.

A few 12th and early 13th century fragments remain scattered throughout the church. These are numerous enough to determine that by the mid-13th century, the church consisted of an aisle-less chancel and transepts, an aisled nave, and probably a crossing tower.

Doug Shepherd replied to Pam J:

Hello Pam, thanks for your visit. I'm afraid this is not Beverly Minister but St. Mary's Parish Church in Beverly. I have posted a recent picture of the Minster, I hope that it will help you identify which church you were in all those years ago.

My best wishes, Doug
