St. Peter's Church in Drypool, Drypool
| 115. DRYPOOL. St. Peter's Anglican church. The first record of this church, the ancient parish church of Drypool, is in 1226 when the advowson was granted to Swine Priory. Pictures of the medieval church before its destruction c.1822 illustrate features that suggest the building may have existed by the 12th century. This medieval building was replaced, in 1823, by a new church designed by William Hutchinson of Hull. Built of brick rendered to imitate stone in Perpendicular style. The chancel was rebuilt in 1867 by D. Watson Aston. In 1878 the Church of St. Peter became a chapel-of-ease to the newly built Church of St. Andrew, Holderness Road which became the parish church of Drypool. The Church of St. Peter gained its own district again in 1879. The building was destroyed by bombs in 1941, but its shell survived the war, the tower being the last part to be demolished. The churchyard is now a garden. [The Lost Churches and Chapels of Hull] |
