History [edit]

Northumbrian and Viking menstruum [edit]

The origins of Beverley tin can be traced back to the time of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria in the 7th century. The first construction built in the surface area, which at the fourth dimension was known equally Inderawuda (meaning "in the wood of the men of Deira"), was a Christian church dedicated to St John the Evangelist.^[10] This was founded by the Bishop of York who subsequently became known every bit John of Beverley, who was believed to have performed miracles during his lifetime, and was later venerated as a saint.^[x] Effectually the 850s, the now developed monastery was abandoned in a hurry; historians presume this was because of the invasion of the so-chosen Great Heathen Regular army of Vikings who had invaded England, and established the Kingdom of Jórvík in the Yorkshire area.^[10] However, the population was increased during the 10th century, by people who came to venerate the Saint, John of Beverley.^[10]

Earlier the Boxing of Brunanburh, mayhap located further northward than Beverley, the King of England at the fourth dimension Athelstan visited Inderawuda, he prayed all night and saw a vision saying he would be victorious: in render he helped the boondocks to grow greatly.^[10] The name of the town was changed to Bevreli or Beverlac, significant beaver-clearing or beaver-lake, in the tenth century; a reference to the colonies of beavers in the River Hull at the time.^[10] The final three Anglo-Saxon archbishops of York helped Beverley to develop, via the rise in prominence of Beverley Minster and the town in general; along with York itself, Ripon and Southwell, Beverley became one of the most of import Christian centres of Northern England. Aldred was alleged by king Edward the Confessor as "sole Lord of the Manor of Beverley". Beverley adult as a merchandise middle, producing textiles, leather and objects made out of antler.^[10] Beverley Minster was synthetic in 1220 and there were 3 phases to its construction. 1220–1260, 1320–1348 Stopped during the black death and once again in 1420–1440 just Beverley Minster is not complete. The Chapterhouse was demolished in 1660 and only the doors remain in the church building. St Martin'south chapel was also destroyed and was a place of pilgrimage for many, was removed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Normans and the Middle Ages [edit]

Subsequently the Norman conquest, many pilgrims flocked to Beverley upon hearing reports of miracles wrought by the town's founder, John. However, much of the Due north of England rejected Norman rule, and sought to reinstate Viking rule.^[x] Towns in Yorkshire were obliterated by the Normans in response, with the Harrying of the N; only Beverley itself was spared, upon the Normans hearing almost the boondocks'due south saintly history.^[10] In 1086, Beverley was recorded in the Domesday Book every bit comprising around nineteen households and lying within the Hundred of Sneculfcros.^[xi] In the 12th century, Beverley developed from a settlement of several thousand, to an extensive boondocks, stretching from around the Northward Bar area to the Brook in an elongated pattern, it was granted borough status in 1122 by Thurstan. Industry grew further, Beverley especially traded wool with the fabric making towns of the Low Countries.^[10]

Westwood and the Black Mill

The boondocks suffered a large fire in 1188 which destroyed numerous houses, and damaged Beverley Minster. Lady Sybil de Valines gave the Manor of the Holy Trinity on the eastward side of Beverley to the Knights Hospitallers in 1201, where they established a preceptory;^[12] also to be establish in Beverley during the 13th century were Dominican friars who were given some land by Henry 3 upon which they erected buildings. Franciscans were present.^[10] A dispute arose between local farmers and the archbishop during the 13th century, about state rights; after the locals demanded a royal inquiry, the archbishop granted the townspeople pasture and pannage in the Westwood and other places.

During the 14th century, England experienced periods of dearth caused by poor weather conditions which destroyed crops. There were other nationwide issues to contend with at the time, such every bit the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War and the Great Rising. Nonetheless, Beverley connected to grow: and by 1377, had become the 10th largest town in England.^[ten]

The earliest surviving secular drama in English, The Interlude of the Student and the Girl (c.  1300), may have originated from Beverley.

Reformation decline in Tudor times [edit]

Beverley was reliant on pilgrimage, merely changes brought about by the Reformation impacted upon this tradition, resulting in a pass up in its condition.^[10] Local Beverley human being Cardinal John Fisher was martyred forth with Thomas More for refusing to accept the Tudor King Henry 8 equally Head of the Church of England.^[13] In Oct 1536, there was a pop rising in Beverley where 500 men in the town gathered at the Westwood nether the leadership of a local lawyer named William Stapleton, later becoming part of the larger Pilgrimage of Grace in York and, in plough, part of the 30,000 rebels opposing Henry's new religious laws.^[ten] Henry followed through with the break from Rome and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, dissolving the Dominican Friary in Beverley and taking their land for himself, the Knights Templars in Beverley suffered the same fate in 1540.^[10]

Equally a result of the tensions across the North of England, governance duties were handed over to the Quango of the North and then the Tudors could control the area at arm's length.^[fourteen] Beverley was visited past John Leland, the man known equally the "father of English local history", he wrote of the town in some detail, estimating the population of the time at around five,000.^[10] Beverley Minster was threatened with demolition by its new owners who wanted to turn a profit from selling its rock and pb, all the same the local people led by wealthy merchant Richard Grey saved it from this fate.^[10] During the time of Elizabeth I, Beverley was endowed with its ain mayor; Edward Ellerker was the first to take this position.^[xv] The gap betwixt Beverley'due south rich and poor became more than pronounced during the Tudor era, due to large unemployment. The substantial drop in pilgrimage to Beverley in honour of its founder John of Beverley affected the jobs of the working grade as it was Beverley'southward main manufacture.^[10]
