The Prior of Ferriby held in Hessle one carucate of land in frankalmoigne.

And the heirs of Stutevill held four carucates of the King, which made the fourth part of a knight's fee.

The Church was given to the Priory of Gisburne, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein, in 1251. It is endowed with a mediety of the Rectory.

" This was originally," says Archbishop Sharp, " the mother church to Trinity, Hull."
