Could this be the longest ladder in Beverley?
Tucked away in the workshop high above Beverley Minster, this towering wooden ladder is a relic from another time. And don’t worry—you won’t have to climb it on our roof tours 😅.

It’s far too steep (and a bit too wobbly) for visitors. These days, our maintenance team uses a much sturdier modern version nearby.

But ladder aside, stepping into the roof space is an unforgettable experience…
with hidden spaces, medieval staircases, centuries-old graffiti and panoramic views of Beverley you won’t see anywhere else

Come and see a side of the Minster few ever do. All inside - so no risk of bad weather affecting your visit. Booking ahead is recommended as spaces are limited on each tour: https://tinyurl.com/4wttu5tz

It's a tradition at the Minster for people who've worked here to leave their 'mark' in the roof space. It can be graffiti carved into windows, names chalked onto beams, carved into stone, or even drawings in the lead on the roof!

On a Beverley Minster roof tour, we show you lots of these reminders of previous generations working here, by taking you into areas of the church normally off-limits to the public. Why not discover the graffiti for yourself? We run tours every Wednesday and Saturday. If you'd like to join us this summer, we recommend you book ahead as spaces are limited. : https://tinyurl.com/4wttu5tz

Great to see this old photo on display in a Beverleypub of our man-powered, treadwheel crane here at the Minster. It was installed in Georgian times and allowed the maintenance team to lift and lower equipment and building materials into (and out of) the roof space for repair work. These treadwheel cranes are a rare breed these days. There are only another 5 or so to be found in churches around the country.

If you join a roof tour on a Wednesday afternoon (1pm) or one of our Saturday tours (11am or 2pm) you'll get to see this amazing piece of engineering in our rooftop workshop. While we've now upgraded to an electric hoist, this Georgian artefact remains proudly in place for visitors to see.
