The Minster has over 700 years of history and many, many more stories to tell from its time as the civic Church for Kingston upon Hull. It has played its part in the English Revolution, seen the rise and falls of Kings, Queens and Governments; endured wars, but Holy Trinity Church, Hull Minster, has continued to serve its original purpose as a parish church and community hub for Kingston upon Hull and the surrounding area of the East Riding or Yorkshire since construction began in 1285 AD.
Tours take 1 hour. There are seated viewing spots along the way and visitors will have a chance to ask questions and take photos along the way.
These tours are of the ground floor area of Hull Minster where there is level access.
Some say the history of the City of Hull is written on the walls of Hull Minster. With links to famous fathers of Hull’s industrial and maritime merchant heritage, the Minster has played its part in local and national events. From the Charter of 1299 given by Edward I to form the city of Kingston upon Hull to the events that kick started the English Revolution, Hull Minster has witnessed it all. These stories are retold by our tour guides as you walk through the Minster and the history of Hull.
