History
The church dates to the 15th-century. A tower was added in 1697. The church was restored from 1861 to 1863 by Sir George Gilbert Scott,[2] who was the cousin of the then vicar, John Scott II.[3]
Though formerly an evangelical parish, the parish was influenced by the 19th-century Oxford Movement. The organ was built by Brindley & Foster and dates to 1904. A Temple Moore-designed rood screen was added to the chancel in 1912.[4]
On 13 October 1952, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.[2]
Present day
The parish of St Mary Hull is in the Archdeaconry of the East Riding of the Diocese of York.[5]
The church continues to use the Book of Common Prayer for its services, rather than the more modern Common Worship.[5][6]
