The C12th St Mary's Church on North-Bar-Within, seen from The Beverley Arms Hotel, a former C18th coaching inn opposite. St Mary's was founded in 1120 by the Thurstan, Archbishop of York, as a chapel of ease to Beverley Minster, although it was redefined as a vicarage church in 1269. Its central tower was constructed during the late C15th , although the stresses proved too great for the pillars and the tower collapsed in April 1520. Rebuilding however, was completed within four years. The church was more fully restored between 1844-76 by Pugin Snr, Pugin Jnr and Sir George Gilbert Scott; all three of whom embraced the whole medieval ethos, claiming Gothic architecture to be the product of a purer society.
