The Minster<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beverley Minster is an English parish church located in Beverley – East Yorkshire. It is undoubtedly one of the largest parish churches in England, being larger than some English cathedrals. It is considered a masterpiece of Gothic art. Also called Minster because in ancient times it was the church of a monastery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Construction work began in 1225 and probably lasted almost 200 years. The twin towers of the western fa\u00e7ade inspired the design of the present Westminster Abbey – London.<\/span><\/p>\n

The building was able to survive after the dissolution of the monasteries, between 1536 and 1540, decreed by King Henry VIII of England. The current building retains almost everything except the chapter house.<\/span><\/p>\n

To conclude, we will say that the wheel crane is placed on the vault of the central tower, and was driven by two people. The visit to the tower where the medieval wheel crane is done is through guided tours on Saturdays at 11am.<\/span><\/p>\n
