The See also:remainder of the nave is Decorated, excepting the westernmost bay which is Perpendicular, as is the ornate west front with its graceful flanking towers. The north See also:porch is also a beautiful example of this style.

Though overshadowed by the presence of the minster, it is yet a very See also:fine example of its styles, its most noteworthy features being the tower and the west front. Bever-ley was walled, and one See also:gate of the 15th century remains; there are also some picturesque old houses. The See also:industries are tanning, See also:iron-See also:founding, See also:brewing and the manufacture of chemicals; and there is a large agricultural See also:trade. Beverley is the seat of a See also:suffragan bishop in the See also:diocese of York. The municipal borough is under a See also:mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 councillors, and has an See also:area of 2404 acres, including a large extent of See also:common pasture See also:land.
Beverley (Beverlac) is said to be on the site of a See also:British See also:settlement. Evidently a church had existed there before 704, since in that See also:year it was restored by St John of Beverley, who also founded a monastery there and was himself buried in the church. In the devastation of the north of England which followed the See also:Conquest, Beverley is said to have escaped by a See also:miracle attributed to St John; the See also:Norman See also:leader, while about to enter and pillage the church, See also:fell from his See also:horse dead, and the See also:- KING

time of St John of Beverley until the See also:dissolution of the monasteries, the See also:manor and town of Beverley belonged to the archbishopric of York, and is said to have been held under a See also:charter of liberties supposed to have been granted by King IEthelstan in 925. This charter, besides other privileges, is said to have granted See also:sanctuary in Beverley, and the ' lcuga" over which this See also:privilege extended was afterwards shown to include the whole town. Confirmations of 4Ethelstan's charter were granted by See also:Edward the See also:Confessor and other succeeding See also:kings. In the reign of Henry I., See also:Thurstan, See also:arch-bishop of York, gave the burgesses their first charter, which is one of the earliest granted to any town in England. In it he granted them the same privileges as the citizens of York, among these beinga gild See also:merchant and freedom from See also:toll throughout the whole of See also:Yorkshire, with right to take it at all the markets and fairs in their town except at the three See also:principal fairs, the toll of which belonged to the archbishop. In 1200 King John granted the town a new charter, for which the burgesses had to pay 500 marks. Other charters generally confirming the first were granted to the town by most of the early kings. The See also:incorporation charter granted by See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth in 1573 was confirmed by See also:Charles I. in 1629 and Charles II. in 1663, and renewed by See also:- JAMES
