Beverley Minster, in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, is generally regarded as the most impressive (architecturally speaking) church in England that is not a cathedral. Originally the abbey church, it was not selected as a bishop's seat during the Dissolution of the Monasteries; nevertheless it survived as a parish church, and the chapter house was the only major part of the building to be destroyed. In the 13th century, the central tower collapsed and was never rebuilt. However, improvements to the church were made throughout the medieval period, and the style ranges from early Gothic to Perpendicular, the twin towers of the west front being a superlative example of the latter. The missing statuary was replaced during the Victorian era. The "base" (top) of the central tower had a cupola attached during the early 19th Century but this was removed during its restoration by Scott. A distinctive feature of both the north and south transepts is the presence of rose windows, designed as in botany and a White Rose of York, with ten equal parts.
