| Publisher Description: Beverley, founded around AD 700 by St John of Beverley during the time of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria, was an important centre of trade from the Middle Ages onwards. Beverley developed a considerable industrial base and enjoyed yet another boom in the Georgian period to become the social and legal capital of the East Riding of Yorkshire. This intriguing A-Z guide will be a source of fascination and enjoyment for anyone, resident and visitor alike, with an interest or affection for this delightfully preserved historical market town. |
