Beverley Minster is regarded as the most impressive church in
England that is not a cathedral. Its splendid Perpendicular twin
towers of the west front are visible for miles across the wolds
as you approach Beverley. There is much to see inside, including
the tomb of Lady Eleanor Percy, dating from around 1340 and covered
with a richly-decorated canopy, regarded as one of the best surviving
examples of Gothic art. www.beverleyminster.org. About 8 miles
east of Market Weighton.
