 minster (church), Grade I Listed (UK), anglican church, 13th century construction, English Gothic (architecture)
The church was called Holy Trinity Church until 13 May 2017 when it became Hull Minster. It is also one of the most beautiful, built mainly in the "Decorated" and "Perpendicular" architectural styles of the 13th and 14th centuries. There is much carved woodwork of high quality, featuring some of "Mousey" Thompson's furniture and the Victorian pews in the nave are delightful, with their carved ends depicting a variety of naturalistic and mythological subjects.
There is a large Forster & Andrews/Compton pipe organ currently in need of restoration.

Comments

  • Unfortunately, since the original post above, what ws once one of the most beautiful churches in the country has been much modernised (some would say desecrated) by so-called 'improvers'. Most of the wonderful pews in the nave have been ripped out or chopped up and relocated in the North choir aisle. The South choir aisle is now a cafeteria and the nave has become an empty space, to be filled either with museum style exhibitions, or Beer Festival stalls and kegs. An incongruous glass enclosure around the West door further detracts from the church's atmosphere. The Canon of Hull Minster should be ashamed for allowing an erstwhile beautiful religious builing to be secularised and vandalised like this.
