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.
