Howden - Howden Minster
The Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul
Howden is a pleasant East Riding town; there is free town limited street parking and several pay and display long term car parks with reasonable charges.
The church is open during normal hours and there is no charge for or restriction on photography.
Howden Minster's foundation dates from Anglo-Saxon times. In 1267 the then Bishop of Durham failed to set up a monastic community at Howden but a collegiate church was established instead. This was dissolved by Edward VI in1550. In 1693 the choir roof collapsed, follwed by that of the chapter house in 1750; the latter was reroofed in 1984. These ruinous parts of the church were taken into the care of English Heritage in 1971

Hull - Charterhouse
Charterhouse Lane
This almshouse (and its name) has its origin in the Carthusian Priory established in 1378 by Michael de la Pole which stood on the same site to the north of the walled town of Hull. From the beginning the Priory included a hospital (in the sense of an almshouse) for 13 poor men and 13 poor women. The Priory and the Hospital were separated in 1383 and the following year the Hospital - now to be known as God's House of Hull - was established by charter from de la Pole. The Priory was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Hospital (then on the south side of the lane) were demolished during the Siege of Hull in the War of the Three Kingdoms (First Civil War)
The Hospital was later rebuilt on the same site and later new buildings add across the lane and a chapel added.
The Hospital was rebuilt in its present form 1778-80 on the site of the original Priory.

The above are not brasses in the strict sense of the word but rather coffin plates, affixed to the wall of the Lady Chapel. The family is buried in a vault below the Chapel where the entrance via a slab with lifting rings may be seen. The plates were removed from the coffins in 1906 and fixed to the wall to act as memorial brasses as there were no memorials to indicate who was buried in the vault.
