Definitions for "Beverley"
Beverley is a market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and is also the county town of the riding, north of Kingston upon Hull, east of Market Weighton and west of Hornsea.
Beverley was a local government district and borough in Humberside, England, from 1974 to 1996.
Beverley has been the name of a parliamentary constituency in the East Riding of Yorkshire for three separate periods. From medieval times until 1869, it was a parliamentary borough, consisting solely of the market town of Beverley, which returned two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The name was revived for a single-member county constituency created in 1950, but abolished at the next election in 1955, and again between the 1983 and 1997 general elections, after which the Beverley constituency was largely incorporated into the new Beverley and Holderness constituency.
