The most popular derivation of the name Beverley is the Anglo-Saxon “Beoferlic” or “Beaver Clearing in the Woods” – quite probably a reference to the beavers that used to dwell on and around the River Hull as it passed Beverley. http://www.visionwebsites.co.uk/Contents/Text/Index.asp?SiteId=476&SiteExtra=19749316&TopNavId=428&NavSideId=11136
