St.Marys Church, Hook

St.Marys Church, Hook St. Mary’s Church, Hook - Church of England
– At the heart of the village since 1225 ⛪️ It is believed that in early times there was a hermatige at Hook.

It was a simple home for someone who dedicated his life to the service of God and lived alone (apart from occasional guests) under strict conditions set out by the rule of St. Benedict. So worship of God at Hook probably goes back over a thousand years. In early times the church is said to have been dedicated to John the Baptist, but by 1560 it was, as it is now, dedicated to St. Mary, Jesus’ moth

er. In 1499, the ‘Chapel Yard’ at Hook was consecrated to be a burial ground for the use of Hook, Airmyn and Goole even though St. Mary’s continued to be in the parish of Snaith. By the 18th century, Hook had become a separate parish - Admiral Sotheron having the right to appoint clergy. Restoration Plaque
In 1844, St. Mary’s was extensively restored. This was reported in the Leeds Intelligencer of May 1844, as follows:

“The small church at Hook, near Goole, has undergone considerable repairs and restorations…. and this little edifice may be pronounced a model of what a parish church should be in a rural district”.

We hope everyone who attended had a wonderful time, whether you enjoyed the displays, live entertainment, stalls, food, or simply spent time with family and friends celebrating our Armed Forces and community spirit.

We’d love to hear what you enjoyed most, so please share your favourite photos and memories in the comments below.
