This stunning medieval church boasts an impressive Gothic architecture style, with a striking combination of limestone and sandstone exterior. The building's façade features intricate carvings, ornate stone statues, and a prominent tower that rises high into the sky. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with beautiful stained-glass windows casting colorful patterns on the floor. The interior is adorned with elaborate wood carvings, ornate tombs, and intricate stone monuments, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The Minster's peaceful ambiance invites contemplation and reflection, making it a serene oasis in the heart of Howden.
Lovely place, with friendly people in a pleasant town/village. The sort of place you visit more than once. Very photographic, along with the Rectory and Park. I arrived shortly afore a service and so no internal photos.
Called in after 3 on a Saturday afternoon, to find it open but very dark inside and not particularly welcoming. Maybe as I had just visited Selby Abbey, which was wonderfully light inside, I was struck by how dank the Minster was. Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful windows and other objects, plus a fascinating history. Set in a lovely little town. Free to enter. Donations excepted.
Situated in the heart of vibrant Howden very interesting to walk around have to watch your step tho not a lot of info given but it had something to do with Peterborough Anglican church was a wonderful sight sat in market place well worth a little walk round wonderful surprise as I didn't know it was there amazing
An amazing Minster, that can be seen from miles away, set In the heart of the town and it's many cobbled streets and lanes. I have walked it hundreds of times and still find a new vantage point to photograph.
First planned stop in my trip of hunting 'old stones'. Pitty the church was closed. Howden Minster (also known as the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul, Howden) is a large Grade I listed Church of England. A church in the Diocese of York. One of the largest churches in East Riding. Dedicated to St Peter and St. Paul, and it's therefore properly known as 'the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul'. Lovely small English Town, suitable for a short walk and shooting photos. Parking in the streets. Some nice shops and old houses/buildings. Local people are very friendly and helpful.
Can't give full set of stars for a site you can't expire inside and out. Nice to do a lap around but very little to see otherwise.
