St Mary's Church, Beverley

A beautiful medieval parish church at the other end of Beverley's centre from the Minster, with a painted chancel ceiling showing all the kings of England up to Henry VI. It's famous for a stone carving of a rabbit with a satchel, said to have inspired the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland; Carroll visited relatives in the area. Look for the rabbit by the door of the sacristy.
The church also has a fine collection of carved musicians, including minstrels with instruments. Free entry.
