Heritage Open Day: The parish church for Cottingham, serving an area of about 9,600 acres. Local historian, James Hargreave will lead a tour around the church at 11-00 on 13 September, describing the history of the building and the stories of its monuments and windows. The oldest part of the church, the nave, is dated about 1320, but there will have been a building on the same site earlier than this. The Parish was large, about 9,600 acres, stretching from Raywell in the west to the River Hull in the east, from Dunswell and areas to the east of it in the north to Springhead and Newland in the south. It remained that size until the expansion of Hull gradually, from 1882-1935, reduced it to the size it is now.
