JOHN OF BEVERLEY, ST (d. 721)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 447 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JOHN OF BEVERLEY, ST (d. 721) , English bishop, is said to have been born of noble parents at Harpham, in the
east
  riding of Yorkshire. He received his education at Canterbury under Archbishop
Theodore
 , the statement that he was educated at Oxford being of course untrue. He was for a time a member of the Whitby community, under St
Hilda
 , and in 687 he was consecrated bishop of Hexham and in 705 was promoted to the bishopric of
York
 . He resigned the latter see in 718, and retired to a monastery which he had founded at Beverley, where he died on the 7th of May 721. He was canonized in 1037, and his feast is celebrated annually in the Roman Church on the 7th of May. Many miracles of healing are ascribed to John, whose pupils were numerous and devoted to him. He was celebrated for his scholarship as well as for his virtues.
The following works are ascribed to John by J. Bale: Pro Luca exponendo (an exposition of Luke) ; Homiliae in Evengelia; Epistolae ad'Herebaldum,Audenam, et Bertinum; and Epistolae ad Hyldam abbatissam. See life by Folcard, based on Bede, in Acta SS. Bolland. ; and J. Raine's
Fasti
  eboracenses (1863).
