We will start our tour at 11am in the medieval Guildhall, with its fine 18th century courtroom, local history museum, and collection of paintings by the Beverley artists Fred and Mary Elwell. The Guildhall was remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries and the Court Room has fine plasterwork by Guiseppe Cortese. Here we will have an introduction by the Curator. Then after time for a self-funded lunch, we will visit the Art Gallery at 1 30pm where the Curator will give a short talk on the Collection and we will tour the permanent collection and view the travelling exhibition on the work of Georgia O’Keefe. We will finish at St Mary’s Church, where we will have a guided tour and privileged access to the Priests Room with its fascinating collection of Church treasures. The size and decoration of St Mary’s reflect the wealth of the merchants of Beverley who helped rebuild it after the collapse of the Central Tower.
