The Shop is open Monday - Saturday. Admission is free. 'Serve yourself' refreshments available. Contact us for details of tours.
Have visited the Minster before but as we were staying in Beverley for a few days we had the opportunity to spend longer exploring this wonderful building and its many artifacts. We were lucky to also manage to get tickets to visit the roof of the building where you can see how the it was constructed and its early and more recent areas of renovation. Our guides on the roof tour were Graham and Sue and they were splendid. There was nothing that they didn't know about this building and spent over an hour ensuring that we all had the opportunity to take photographs and ask as many questions as we liked. They were also a hysterical double act!! We could wax lyrical about the Minster itself but there really is only one way to appreciate it and that is to come and see it for yourselves. It has everything you could ask for including great historical items such as the tomb of Henry Percy and great relics including the grave of St John of York. The Guides in the Minster are super too as they point out all the things that you would miss if you were not aware such as the carved Head of Edward I and his wife the stone musicians and the upside down archer. A real delight! No admission, only donation, which is unusual these days, guides that truly are enthusiastic about your visit and a great little shop too. If you're in the area don't miss it!!

One of the highest spires in the country St Patricks church was used by the Germans in WW2 to locate Hull. It is a large church for the area and very impressive from the exterior. Here I found a gravestone for an ancestor William Hopper, who was buried in 1796 .

Snaith Priory dates back to the 12th century with much work also being completed in the 13th Century. A daughter church of Selby Abbey and founded by the Benedictine Monks, the Priory is a striking and large building in the centre of our Town. While it is not always unlocked, a key can be obtained from 'The Flower Shack' during their opening hours. Otherwise entry can be arranged by emailing or telephoning the Vicar. ( If you are travelling a long way, please ring a couple of days in advance to ensure we can make contact. Our service is at 10.45am on a Sunday, except the final Sunday of the month, when it is somewhere in our team of five churches. Details can be found on the church notice board, or by contacting the Vicar.
