2025 is a very special year for Holy Trinity (Hull Minster). We are celebrating 600 years since the church was completed.
THANKS TO NATIONAL LOTTERY PLAYERS
2025 is a very special year for Holy Trinity (Hull Minster). We are celebrating 600 years since the church was completed.
The foundations were laid in 1285 when King Edward I bought the land from the Monks of Meaux. The consecration took place around 140 years later mainly because the Black Death wiped out 60% of the population of Hull.
We believe the nave was consecrated in 1426 but for years a misreading of the Latin script meant the church has commemorated the consecration date of 1425.
Our HT600 Project will run throughout 2025 and into 2026 to celebrate the completion and consecration of Holy Trinity Parish Church
