Admin History:

The parish of Sculcoates covered the area north of Hull and south of Cottingham. The first mention of a church in the area was in 1232. It was to remain a separate and distinct parish until 1837 when it was absorbed into the newly extended borough of Hull. The Sculcoates Poor Law Union was established in 1837 and in 1930 also became part of Hull. St Paul's Parish was created as chancery of Sculcoates in 1844
