The ParishThe parish of Holy Trinity, Hull lies in the southeast of Yorkshire, indeed it forms part of Yorkshire's coastline with the Humber estuary. The city of Hull (city status having been granted in 1897 by Queen Victoria) is one of the UK's major ports as well as a significant manufacturing centre in its own right. Hull lies some 40 miles southeast of the city of York and some 170 miles north of London. Hull (or more correct called Kingston Upon Hull) sits on the banks of the Humber at its confluence with the River Hull which gave the city its name. Hull sits at the eastern end of the M62 motorway, the cross-country northern motorway which connects Hull with Leeds, Bradford and on across the Pennines to Manchester & Liverpool. Hull also has its rail line connecting with the main network at York. Holy Trinity, not the Cathedral as Hull is a rare city without such, is the major parish of the city, St Mary being the smaller. Hull's origins are somewhat obscure, it's first comes to attention in 1293 when purchased in a deal by Edward the First from the Abbey of Meaux, with the purchase came the small wool-exporting port of Wyke, the primitive core of the city. In the early 14th century Hull was fortified by the building of walls and ditches around the growing market town & port. The port continued to be largely export orientated with wool & cloth dominating in mediaeval times. Despite this trade Hull had a population of less than 7,000 in the 1670s; it was in the 18th & 19th centuries that the construction of docks expanded the port such that Hull became probably the largest fishing & whaling port as well as major import & export facility making the city among the twentieth most populous places in the UK. Besides the port activities industry grew, in particular shipbuilding, milling and paint manufacture leading to one of the leading industrial centres of northern England. Today the fishing industry has declined significantly and, of course, whaling is no longer practiced. Hull has somewhat of a postindustrial image albeit new developments and a growing University still support prosperity. Hull has outgrown its early walled town and now spreads for almost 10 miles along the Humber as well as almost reaching Beverley to the north as a contiguous urban area. Hull is a coastal port so what drainage there is soon heads for the Hull or the Humber, it is sited at 2 metres above the sea at Holy Trinity church and most of the urban area lies below 10 metres. Holy Trinity parish occupied most of the original walled centre of Hull a small acreage but with a growing population reaching, by the end of this transcript period around 33,000 parishioners. There is no specific mention of Hull in Domesday Book but Wyke is barely worth a mention as it is described as "waste" in the hands of one Ilbert. |
