Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: DRYPOOL.     Church dedication: ST. PETER.     Church type: Discharged Vicarage.*1.

Area, 1,290 acres. Holderness wapentake, N.D. -Population, 2,935 *2; Church-room, 1,000 *3 ; Net value, £189. This Church formerly belonged to the Church of Sutton, and both of them were anciently parcel of the parish of Wawne.

Dugdale, however, speaks of the Chapel of Drypool as having been given to Swine Priory.

" Drypool" (says Archbishop Sharp) " is a parish close by Hull, consisting of not above twenty-six or twenty-seven families, being the soldiers of the garrison that lodge here, in barracks or little buildings made for their quarters."

Torre gives no particulars of the endowment, and has only given the name of one Vicar, viz. Robert Wilson, 1688, presented by the king *4.

Patrons, certain trustees.

Impropriator, H. Broadley, Esq.

Valued in 1707 at £11. 10s.; in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 241, it is stated : " To be made a parish. No minister for four years and a half ;" -and in 1818, at £100 per annum.

Augmented in 1767, with £200; in 1786, with £200; in 1810, with £200; and in 1814, with £1,000 from the Parliamentary grant, -all by lot.

" The tithes are impropriated. £10 per annum is paid by the impropriator ; there is no other income." - Notitia Parochialis, No. 1042.

8th April 1822, faculty to take down and re-build the Church.

An Inclosure Act was passed 21st Geo. II. (Somergangs.)

The glebe house is unfit for residence.

The Register Books commence in 1587 ; the first book, ending in 1711, is imperfect. -Vide Transcripts at York.

Charity:
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTHCOATES. - Eleanor Scott's charity, by codicil to her will, dated 3rd May 1717. Rent of thirty-seven acres of land, let at the time of the Report, for £100 per annum. The rents have always been carried to the same account with, and applied in the same manner as, the poor rates ; but it has been the practice to administer extraordinary relief out of the aggregate fund, in cases of peculiar distress, to pay the rents for poor people, and afford the most indigent a higher rate of subsistence and relief than they could demand from the parish. The Commissioners reported that the rents could not be applied more advantageously, but that it would be proper that a separate account should be kept of their receipt and application. -Vide 9th Report, page 758.

Post town: Hull.
