Construction work on Howden Minster began in 1228, and continued off and on till the 15th century. During this period the town grew into a pilgrimage center following alleged miracles performed by John of Howden in the 13th century. Howden Minster fell into ruins following the Dissolution of the Collegiate churches by King Henry VIII in 1548. The English Civil War caused it greater damage.
