Church in East Riding of Yorkshire, England
The Church of St Mary, also known as Lowgate St Mary, is a Church of England parish church in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. The church is a grade II* listed building.[2]
History
The church dates to the 15th-century. A tower was added in 1697. The church was restored from 1861 to 1863 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.[2]
Though formerly an evangelical parish, the parish was influenced by the 19th-century Oxford Movement. The organ was built by Brindley & Foster and dates to 1904. A Temple Moore-designed rood screen was added to the chancel in 1912.[3]
On 13 October 1952, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.[2]
Present day
The parish of St Mary Hull is in the Archdeaconry of the East Riding of the Diocese of York.[4]
The church continues to use the Book of Common Prayer for its services, rather than the more modern Common Worship.[4][5]
