A book set to go on display contains hundreds of names of sanctuary men or grithmen, detailing the journeys of people hoping for shelter. York butcher Culyng is one of those recorded sanctuary-seekers. He inherited debt from his father and fled to Beverley after creditors came to claim money he could not afford to give. One of the most high-profile sanctuary seekers, although not included in the records, was Sir John Holland, half-brother of King Richard II.
In , just outside York, he killed the Earl of Stafford's son in vengeance for the death of his own squires. At the time Sir John was accompanying the king on his way to Scotland, but fled to Beverley knowing his fate would likely be death. The king ordered the seizure of Sir John's land as punishment, but a year later would reconcile with the Stafford family.
When fugitives arrived in Beverley, details were taken about who they were and why they were seeking sanctuary. At the minster, fugitives would swear an oath and do small jobs in return for their safety. If they were still wanted after their 30 days they had several choices. One was to go on trial and accept any punishment meted out. Many who chose this route were executed.
