JOHN OF BEVERLEY

John of Beverley was an English prelate and saint. He was born about the middle of the seventh century at Harpham, Yorkshire and died in 721. He was appointed abbot of St Hilda and afterwards Bishop of Hexham in 685, and two years later Archbishop of York. He founded a college for secular priests at Beverley, where he retired in 717, and died in 721. Bede, who was his pupil, believed that he could work miracles, a power attributed to his remains for some centuries.
