The church, dedicated to St. Peter (see Churches for photograph), is extremely ancient, and is thought by most antiquarians to have formerly been parochial, from its having bells in the tower, at the time when none but parochial churches were allowed them. On account of its vicinity to Hull. and being immediately in the public road, land conveyances of every kind pass and re-pass daily. Population 91."
