St Mary's Church, Beverley — Attraction in Beverley

I believe that churches are overlooked by the general public , who probably think they only go there for a specific reason. Time to change your mind set.

The outside of the building is also beautiful although there appear to be a lot of restoration works going on at the moment so I'm not sure when it's open and when it isn't.
