John of Beverley
John of Beverley (died 7 May 721) was an English bishop active in the kingdom of Northumbria. He was the Bishop of Hexham and then the Bishop of York which was the most important religious designation in the area. He went on to found the town of Beverley by building the first structure there, a monastery. John was associated with miracles during and after his lifetime, and was canonised a saint by the Catholic Church in 1037.
==Life==
John was said to have been born of noble parents at Harpham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, He is said to have received his education at Canterbury under Adrian,〔 and not Oxford as per some sources. However, all these facts are first recorded after his canonization in 1037, and may not be reliable.〔 〕 He was for a time a member of the Whitby community, under St Hilda, a fact recorded by his friend Bede.〔 He won renown as a preacher, displayed marked erudition in expounding Scripture.〔(MacAuley, Patrick. "St. John of Beverley." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 8. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910. 17 May 2013 )〕
In 687 he was consecrated Bishop of Hexham and in 705 was promoted to the bishopric of York. Of his new activity little is known beyond that he was diligent in visitation, considerate towards the poor, and attentive to the training of students whom he maintained under his personal charge.〔 He ordained Bede as a deacon and as a priest.〔 He resigned perhaps about 717 and retired to a monastery which he had founded at Beverley, where he died on 7 May 721.〔
