Misericord in the southern range of the choir stalls.
In most other town's St Mary's church would be the star attraction, a splendid cruciform late medieval building in the Perpendicular style that is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the country, but in Beverley it is somewhat eclipsed by the far grander edifice at the other end of the town (the one that really draws the visitors, many of whom likely never know or think to seek out its smaller sibling at the northern edge of town).
That St Mary's is a joy in its own right is attested by many things, the architecture is a fine example of late Perpendicular crowned by a spiky central tower, while clerestories punctuate the nave, choir and transepts to flood the interior with light. The south wall of the transept is propped up by flying buttresses which add a touch of drama, while the doorway in the south porch (the main entrance) is adorned with some amusing carved faces.
Within an impressive space is revealed, both nave and choir are flanked by substantial aisles and the ceilings above are enlivened with colour, that in the choir being especially renowned for its depiction of various kings of England from the mythical Lochrine (now repainted as George VI) to Henry VI, one shown in each panel; all were however repainted by restorers in the 1860s so the effect of the original medieval work can only be guessed at (the designs were likely closely followed while the colouring was probably brightened up a fair bit).
One of the joys of St Mary's is the profusion of carvings found throughout the church, some of the best being in the roof bosses while others of note can be seen in the sumptuously vaulted north east chapel. In the nave is the 'minstrel's pillar' with a set of small figures of the men who donated it, while in the choir is a fine set of carved misericords that rewards study (and are fortunately usually on show).
Of course if the visitor only has time to visit one church in Beverley then it has to be the Minster, but St Mary's is a real gem and deserves to be better known, thus Beverley can proudly boast that both its medieval churches are first rate and shouldn't be missed.

Just transmit to a FM frequency on one of the 10 radios we have… Kate gave us a Grffin? Transmitter years ago when these came on the market…. They sound and work well.
We have two, and will complement the 3000 songs on the old dead iPhone….
I just typed a long story and my finger touched something on the iPad screen and blew it away..
So will try again using Siri…
I suppose I could have captured the screen on the iPod but I was a bit rushed after picking up another J&B and some shopping and then dashing off to our new friend "Phil The Butcher" to pick up a pot plant and some seeds. He had forgotten to bring them into the shop a couple of times before but this time had placed them in his bag but brought the wrong bag on his bike to work..

The heraldic Griffin, one of two such sculptures on plinths guarding the inner gate of the Steintor in Rostock. They are the work of sculptor Eve Slawow, and placed into position in May 2016. The Steintor (Stone Gate) is one of four such structures providing access to the walled city dating back to the mid-sixteenth century. This legendary creature, combining the body, tail and rear legs of a lion, and head, wings and talons of an eagle was used in the middle ages as a symbol of strength and divine power as well as a protector of treasured possessions. More recently it became part of the coat of arms of the Midland Railway, and latterly used by the Midland Bank (now HSBC - unfortunately) as part of its logo. For a number of members of this parish it will forever be known as the 'bloody Midland Bank', firstly for their toils on its behalf, and second for the legendary Monty Python sketch about the poet Ewan McTeagle, who in one of his poetic masterpieces uttered the immortal words "Whats Twenty Quid to the Bloody Midland Bank'.
