The Provost of St John's, Beverley is a position said to have been created by Archbishop Thomas of Bayeux. The provost had responsibility for the administration of the lands owned by the minster and for the general revenues of the chapter. He was an external officer with authority in the government of the church, but with no stall in the choir and no vote in chapter.
Most of the provosts of Beverley were appointed as a reward for their work as civil servants. The post was finally terminated during the Reformation.
