The High Altar in St James', and the tomb of Sir John de Sutton,
just visible on the right. (photo courtesy of Terry King, in Osnabruck)

The effigy & tomb of Sir John de Sutton, a veteran knight, who died in 1358,
depicted clad in the armour he wore in 1346 at the Battle of Crècy.
The new church was dedicated in 1349, coincidentally the year of the Black Death,
but Sir John's tomb was already finished and in place, ready for him, for some 8 years before he died.
That's faith for you.


Another famous grave in Sutton churchyard, the tomb of the Liddell famly.


A sight not often seen in Sutton these days;
AEC Regent with a Beverley Bar roof, no644
appears to be on a quick wedding duty from Hornsea!

The Humber Stone ... outside the gate of the Memorial Garden.
A meeting place for young lovers since Adam was a lad.
No-one knows how long it's been here, or whence it came from.

There are one or two old photos

from time to time.
You can view them

School Exhibition

A PHOTO CD
of scenes in and around St James' Church, Sutton on Hull


has been produced by a local camera club, Brooklands Photographic Club.

There are some 70 scenes in all, in exceptionally high quality, that were taken for an exhibition in Sutton during the autumn of 2006. Many views are inside the church, showing details of stained glass, the font, pulpits, pews, high altar, etc, and several from the top of the tower, in all directions. Others are of or in the churchyard, and scenes local to the church itself.

The photos, in the main, are large. None are less than 2000 x 1400, several considerably more. All are uncompressed, and would make good quality images printed on A4. As the collection is technically subject to English Copyright laws, none appear on this Sutton & Wawne website. (Any others that do appear are of poorer quality and have been compressed to some greater or lesser degree).

The two thumbnail collections below show some idea of the total. Copies of the disc can be produced if we get enough orders, and would be £5 each, with the proceeds divided between the camera club that produced them to cover their expenses, price of the disc, etc, the church itself, and the Sutton Exhibition & Resource Centre. Postage for any mail orders to UK addresses would have to be an additional £2, and £3.50 for airmail abroad. Enquiries may be made there on opening days, or direct to :

WAWNE FERRY

a couple of old photos








The old ferry at Wawne, now but a distant memory to most folks, connected to Thearne Lane, and so came out on the main Beverley road, A1079, at Woodmansey. The 800-year old ferry closed to motor transport in the 1960's, though I recall still seeing signs well into the 1970s at Woodmansey on the main road warning motorists that the Thearne Ferry was now closed. They called it Thearne Ferry on that side of the river. .. well, they were in a different country, see.

There is a paperback booklet out on the story of Wawne Ferry for historians, by local writer, Martin Limon. 'A Passage over the River Hull: the Story of Wawne Ferry', costs £4.50, available from the Beverley Bookshop, Browns in Hull, or direct from Martin himself.

Also, Issue 75 of the magazine, 'Down Your Way', contains a short article on Wawne Ferry by Martin, and the article also appears on The Thearne Website . It is all a most interesting read, and contains a great deal of information that will be new to most people.
