First planned stop in my trip of hunting 'old stones'. Pitty the church was closed. Howden Minster (also known as the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul, Howden) is a large Grade I listed Church of England. A church in the Diocese of York. One of the largest churches in East Riding. Dedicated to St Peter and St. Paul, and it's therefore properly known as 'the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul'.
Lovely small English Town, suitable for a short walk and shooting photos.
Parking in the streets. Some nice shops and old houses/buildings. Local people are very friendly...

Set in a lovely little town. Free to enter....
