- The history of Cottingham's largest church, the parish church since at least the 14th century, and most visible part of Cottingham for miles around!
If you're anything like me, viewing historical Ordnance Survey maps side by side with modern satellite views will certainly eat up far too much of your time!

Your ability to speak with such eloquence and interest is captivating. Loved every minute of it. I too am not a religious man but have long since admired the work of the masons and architects that created these masterpieces. Yet again you’ve taught me much I didn’t know. Thank you.
Enjoyed your talk. My Wife and I were married in St. Mary,s in 1955. We had 62 glorious years together before her death in 2017
What a beautiful and respectful film. And church cat too!
Wonderful video as ever! Always a joy to watch. A lot of the damage done to churches was started by the Victorians repointing the stonework with Portland cement which is far too hard an accelerates the ghosting of the stone. It's only in the last 20 years or so that traditional lime is being used in a much more sympathetic way.
Excellent video as ever 👍👍
Thank you for this insight, particularly because, as a lad, even though I was familiar with Cottingham, I was always distracted by the beauty of the girls I knew who lived there, in particular two sisters who shall remain nameless for everyone's sakes, but who, in their own ways were both so exceptionally gorgeous, witty, talented and generally lovely that all thoughts of ecclesiastical architecture were WELL down on my list of thoughts on my bike rides.. Although I DID notice the red brick insert walls as in the De la Pole funded Hull Minster.. Well done once again, a truly cracking film. 👍
Always said, you have a great tone and pace for commentary.
Thankyou, to me I'm just editing an awkward continuous stream of me mangling the script...
Thank you, H H N. Once again, another sojourn down Memory Lane for me. So much detail, delivered with honesty and reality. My Darling Mary was born in Cottingham Hospital, 16 February 1948. Still In Love, including our Children and Grandchildren ...
I am looking forward to your/my/our next historical experience.
Enough gushing. All the best. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎 🌠
Wonderful! Truly enjoyed this. My father, a devout Anglican, was very interested in church architecture and would have loved your erudite presentation. Sad to hear of the demise of Amber, though....
Very interesting video Jim, I've always found churches interesting.
Thanks for posting.
Wonderful tribute to something that has stood so long.
Highly approve of the music as well. 👍
Greetings from Leipzig and thank you, once again, Mr. Nerd. The most beautiful perpendicular towers I know are those of Beverley Minster where I used to ring the bells and serve at communion in the 1950s before becoming a Quaker.
Another great video mate!
So, St Mary's started life as the priory church, later supplanted by Haltemprice Priory. The internal spaces were often subdivided by wooden screens to enclose areas (rarely big open spaces in churches of this size)
Man, sometimes youtube sucks. Subscribed, notifications, regularly comment and like, watched every video. And the algorithm doesnt show it to me even once!
It has certainly been one of my least popular videos, I wonder if the algorithm didn't like me talking about a church?
"And long May ST Marys contrinue to stand watch over coming generations of the people of Cottingham" - Amen brother. Amen!
For the record. I used to call Cottingham... Home.
Me too! And now, after 30 years, I call it home once more :)
I love your videos. For the past three decades I've lived several thousand miles away from my childhood home on Bricknell Avenue. You manage to transport me right back there with your insightful presentations. Keep up the good work.
Increasing acidity means a decreased, lower pH; a minor point, I know, but it grates on this aged chemist when folk get this wrong.
Yikes, you're absolutely right, I just looked back at my script and it actually says "decreased"....I have no excuse.
Wonderful, enjoying every video HHN, your presenting and instresting facts you find in your research are brilliant! Look forward to the next video and topic.
I'll be showing this to our students. They love going in there.
Thank you for enlightening us about the local history. Likewise, I suppose by digitizing and beaming the church's story to the internet you yourself have added another dimension.
I hadn't thought of that, I suppose that's true!
I was in this church about two months ago and it made a big impression on me. Thank you for making a video about it. Greetings.
Excellent as always. Thank you for taking the time to makes these productions
Fascinating! Thank you for doing this one, I knew nothing about it and yet I’ve lived around it and had family who married here.
Well done HHN, another lovely look at some wonderful local history!! Beautifully filmed and presented, I lived in Skidby for many years, always loved Cottingham and St. Mary’s was of course the main landmark and your history of the place was fascinating. Well done, magic stuff.
Another great video thanks. Always happy to learn from your memory bank and research.
Crackin' video thanks. I don't know enough about the history of Cottingham, I now know more than I did earlier.
Ive always been curious to dig in to the history of Skidby church as it strikes my untrained eye as being a patchwork of materials in regard to it's construction
Indeed it does, at some point I plan on doing a video about Skidby and I'll be delving into it's curious Frankenchurch!
Brilliant and very interesting. Keep up the good work sir!
Interesting stuff as always, many thanks.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. 👍
Thanks
Enjoyed it
Me ? In a church ? Unusual - lead the way mr Nerd 😀
Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, I’m not religious at all but you made it all about the building, the area and the period. Perfect! Thank you, I have yet again learned lots of interesting facts and am inspired to visit once more. Are you commissioned by the local tourist board?? This will be my 5th weekend in Hull now following your work lol
Haha, no, I wish! It would be nice to have another income stream!
Hey nerd st Mary’s church in cottingham I heard the chimes at st Mary’s church
Another excellent presentation HN. Not being much into religion myself, churches per se aren't high on my list, except in the mastery of their construction at a time of nothing more than hand chisels, wooden squares, stringlines, pulleys and copious elbow grease over decades if not centuries. A new mason chum coming into the trade might spend his entire life working on the same project and live to see his kids and grand kids following on behind. There must be very few trades and occupations either now or before where pride in ones skills find such a dedicated and dignified outlet as the building of cathedrals and churches. Hats off in spades to those long past...
It's worth noting that all of us saps who say those immortal words "I do", take our newly-minted bride down the knave, not the aisle. Not everyone knows this, perhaps because it might not be true.
What also might not be true is the "real" purpose of churches, but to do that you have to go down the Tartaria, great resets, and mud floods rabbit hole, which is altogether of a darker tone, as if religion down the ages isn't dark enough already....
Nice one HN, enjoyed that more than I thought I would...
Thankyou for the kind words, though I have to say the whole tartaria/mudflood theory falls apart completely under even a little bit of scrutiny. It's just a conspiracy theory, I'm afraid!
@@hullhistorynerd Yes, well, I do tend to let myself be tempted by all manner of tinfoil hat stuff. My wife thinks I'm barmy...
@@logotrikes It's unfortunately a theory put about by people who can't believe that the people of the 18th/19th centuries were capable of building grand buildings in neoclassical styles, despite the wealth of records pertaining to their construction, and, often, even photographic evidence of the building works! Plus a misunderstanding of what "Tartary" actually means, historically (it was nothing but a medieval western mapmakers fantasy description of the lands of the Mongol people, who preferred, early in the Mongolian Empire, to be called Tartars, though this quickly fell out of use). Surely, these Western medieval cartographers thought, the lands of the Tartars must be called Tartaria!
I've been called brainwashed by the education system before now by a full on Tartarian theorist, despite the fact that I never even studied history at school! I'm very much a self taught historian, I just like to follow the evidence and make sure the evidence lines up with other evidence, and ask why if it doesn't line up neatly. There's just no evidence at all for the Tartaria theory, none of the models stand up, and the sheer weight of evidence against it makes it look flimsier than a house made of clingfilm!
Mmmm something different for change I'm not really church person but is fascinating how they built them and how old are they
Fun fact holly trinity in hull floats on oak logs the vicker said to me as a kid
Sorry to say that's a bit of a myth. The nave foundations are at least 15ft deep
absolutly fasinating thank you
8:17 you sound like the church version of Clarkson.
Philip is at the blue 💙 🚪 at the church ⛪ 💙 prince Philip 🤴 💙 royal family 👪

I don't understand any of that, what does it mean?
@@hullhistorynerd I'm John Hull the place is in my name
If your goal is to confuse, then you have succeeded.
