Beverley

Beverley minster is a large imposing building near the centre of the town. It mainly dates from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries as it is now but there has been a religious building on the site since the eighth century. The photographs above show the west door and the nave looking west.

My interest lies in the carvings it holds, there are said to be over 60 green man carvings here. A selection of those I found are shown below and also a face-puller misericord. There are many other misericords in the minster but most are kept folded down and access is not allowed so they were not photographed. The green man carvings show a variety of styles though most are disgorgers. I also included a photograph of a head disgorging roof decorations.
