Beverley is a market town in the
East Riding of Yorkshire, north of
Kingston-upon-Hull, east of
Market Weighton[?] and west of
Hornsea[?]. It is best known for
Beverley Minster and its
racecourse[?]. There is also
Beverley Friary[?] and a fine medieval church, St Mary's, reflecting its former status as a wealthy wool-trading town (in the
14th century, Beverley was classed as the eleventh richest town in England, and taxed accordingly).
