Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Howden Minster, Howden, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The manor and church at Howden were gifted by William the Conqueror to William of Calais (Bishop of Durham) in 1080 A.D. The original Norman church was rebuilt during the 13th century in the Early English style and again in the Decorated style in the mid 14th century. After being subjected to the Dissolution of Collegiate Churches and Chantries in 1548 the buildings were not destroyed, although some parts were allowed to fall into disrepair as only the nave was used for services. The Parliamentarians are said to have used parts of the Minster as a stable during the English Civil War. The chancel roof collapsed in 1696 and the chapter house roof in 1750. The church was further damaged by a fire in 1932 apparently started by drunks attending the town's horse fair, and was restored once again in 1934. The chapter house received a new roof in 1984 and other ruined elements are now designated a safe ruin, preserved by the Department of the Environment. |
