erected between 1272 and 1370, consisting of chancel, nave with
aisles, tanscpts and south porch. There is a high embattled central
tower with eight pinnacles. The chancel windows are Perpendicular
and there are others of the same style in the church. Both chancel
and aisles are battlemented and the former is ornamental with ten
crocketted pinnacles. The interior was renovated in 1845 and much
exterior restoration was done in 1892 under the supervision of
Messrs. Broderick and Lowther, Architects, of Hull. The church
contains a fine brass with effigy and inscription to Nicholas de
Luda, rector 1364, and is remarkable also for the large number of
ledger stones and monuments, many of very good design and
workmanship and mostly of 17th, 18th and 19th c. origin,
commemorating prominent families connected with the place. The
majority of these are Hull merchant families who resided in or
retired to Cottingham. (2)
