Admin History:

Holy Trinity Church Hull, established in about 1285, is one of the largest parish churches in England. It features early use of brick (14th century) and is located in the Market Place. There are many memorials within the church, ranging from tombs and effigies to floor slabs and wall-tablets, which date from the fourteenth century right up to the late twentieth century. The parish library had been founded by 1665 and attracted donations from many notable figures, from Hull and further afield.
