Whitgift - tour and exhibition at St Mary Magdalene church
Heritage Open Day: St. Mary Magdalene Church is a 13th century church situated in the Marshlands are of the East Riding and was at the centre of the revolution that affected everyday people in the 1600s when Charles 1 commissioned Cornelius Vermuyden and his Dutch work. St. Mary Magdalene church, Whitgift, lies in an area next to the River Ouse known as the Marshlands famous for being part of the extensive drainage programme carried out by Charles I and Cornelius Vermuyden in the seventeenth century. This church replaced one that was built in 1130 which was destroyed by the Rector of nearby Adlingfleet. It was built in the 1300s with support from Selby Abbey and the Earl of Lincoln.
