The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St John of Beverley (medieval)
Parish church
A largely 14th-century church of chancel and N chapel, nave, and W tower, but probably based on a 12th-century nave and chancel since it incorporates 12th-century walling on the S nave wall and adjacent part of the chancel. The north chapel extends further W than the chancel and is entered from the nave. The church is visited for its 18th-century glass by James Peckitt of York, and memorials in alabaster and brass to members of the St Quintin family (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 449-51). Stone coffins are in the N chapel (Pevsner & Neave 1995, 450).
In the S nave wall there is a slit window, two mass-dials and tooled ashlar. The early ashlar fabric is likely to be a Jurassic stone, with chalk used inside wherever possible, see the E wall of the tower below the old roof-line.
There is no certain Romanesque sculpture (depending on your definition).
