Latimer Congregational Church, in the east of Beverley, is affiliated to the [[Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches]].

Since their suppression in the 17th&nbsp;century, [[Quakers]] established a [[Friends meeting house|meeting house]] and have worshipped in Beverley ever since. Their present meeting house – the third – in Quaker Lane – was built in 1961.

Missionaries of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] from the United States first arrived in Beverley in 1850 and quickly established a local congregation. In 1963 a large new chapel on Manor Road was built by local church members. Due to the continued growth of the Beverley congregation both the building and car parks were enlarged in the late 1990s.
