Hull No. 6 / Dridpol / Dripole / Drypool / Kings-town upon Hull / Kingston-upon-Hull / Kingston upon Hull / Wyke on Hull

There are two entries for Drypool [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA1028/drypool/] [accessed 17 October 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 1. 1969) notes: "If pictorial evidence may be credited, a church or chapel existed at Drypool in the 11th or early 12th century. [...] Certainlly a church was there by 1226, when the advowson was granted to Swine Priory by Saer de Sutton. [...] At all events the church belonged to Swine in the next decade when prolonged litigation with Meaux Abbey took place over the right to collect tithe of young beasts from pasture in Drypool and Southcoates. The suit was eventually compromised after Swine had temporarily lost its title to the church. [...] The church appears to have been fully parochial in the Middle Ages; it possessed a graveyard by 1298 [...] Pictures of 1822–3 show that the original church or chapel of ST. PETER, called St. Peter and St. Paul in 1428, [...] consisted, at demolition, of a chancel, nave of 3 bays, west tower, and lofty south porch. It then measured 54×21 ft. A round-headed recessed north doorway of 5 orders appears to have dated from the 11th or 12th century. [...] In 1822 a faculty to rebuild was granted [...] and a brief obtained, [...] this being one of the last church briefs to be issued. (fn. 480) The work was executed, from designs by William Hutchinson, of Hull, and was in progress in 1823. [...] The vase-shaped font probably came, like most of the fittings, from the old church. [...] In 1878 a new church, dedicated to St. Andrew, was consecrated, and became the parish church in December of that year. [...] St. Peter's continued as a chapel-of-ease and in 1879 was assigned a District Chapelry out of Drypool; [...] the building was destroyed in 1941 by enemy action and has not been rebuilt."
