History
Foundation
In 1791, a Catholic chapel was built in Beverley. In 1846, a church was built. It was the first Catholic church to be built in Beverley since the Reformation. From there, priests would go out to serve the local Catholic population in places such as Bridlington. A school and a presbytery were built next to the church.[3]
Construction
From 1897 to 1898, the current church was built. It was designed by the architectural firm of Smith, Brodrick & Lowther from Hull, comprising Richard George Smith, Frederick Stead Broderick and Arthur Randall Lowther, who also designed Our Lady and St Peter's Church in Bridlington. The total cost of the church came to £1,560 and it was paid by Lady Sykes of Sledmere House, wife of Sir Tatton Sykes, 5th Baronet and mother of Mark Sykes.[3]
