"HESSLE, a parish in the county of the town of Kingston upon Hull, locally in the East Riding ; the village is situated on the banks of the Humber, across which is an ancient ferry, and 4 miles w.s.w. of Hull.

Many genteel residences are in the village and neighbourhood. The parish, including 'Garrison-side,' extra-parochial, contained, in 1831, 1,538 persons."
