Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: BEVERLEY SAINT NICHOLAS.     Church dedication: SAINT NICHOLAS OR HOLME CHURCH.

Beverley Borough. -Population, vide St. John's, Beverley. -The Church of St. Nicholas was built by St. John of Beverley, and was a Rectory in the gift of the Archbishop of York, but afterwards came to the Crown - the first presentation by which was in 1574.

Valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation, at £6. 17s. 4d.; in the King's books, at £8. 19s. 6d.; Synodals and Procurations, 10s.; Pension to the Provost of Beverley, 4s. 6d., and to the Prebendary of St. Andrew, 6s.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 397, at about £50. It is there stated to be " without a minister," and recommended " to be joined to the other two parishes in Beverley, for the more comfortable maintenance of able preaching ministers and a lecturer, and that, that part in Norwood that belongeth to Holme Church parish to be united to the Minster."

In 1667, Archbishop Sterne united this parish to that of St. Mary's, reserving all parochial rights.

There was a Chantry at the altar of the Virgin Mary.

The Church is now demolished.
