Beverley Minster

Beverley is like a mini version of York. Even down to having a smaller Minster.
Unlike the larger version in York, however,  Beverley Minster is free to enter and have a look around (as opposed to £15 to go through the doors at York).
They do tend to be very keen on prevention of photography inside at Beverley though, unless you pay for a permit (£3).
I wasn't sure if this related to 'proper' cameras (SLR & tripod, etc.) or if they wanted payment for my pitiful attempts with the Oneplus.
So I only managed to sneak a couple in whilst they weren't looking......
The Gift Shop was placed inside the Minster and, as well as having gravestones inlaid in the floor, it also contained a couple of stone caskets (of, presumably, previous important members of the Church).
One had his dog carved at his feet too! (although he was tucked away behind a computer desk & out of the way in the corner, so he probably needed the company).
