Geocache Description:

Swine is a small village just to the North of Hull with an
unusually large church for its size with parts dating back to the
13th Century. On approaching the most notable feature is the huge
East window that takes up most of the end wall.

There was almost certainly a church at Swine in Holderness by 1086,
however the only recording of this is the manor records when a
priest was present. Swine Priory was founded in 1150, so a church
with both nun’s facilities and lay facilities was in place by
that time. The Nun’s Chaplain was supposed to provide a
perpetual vicar to the parish, but diocesan records show that in
1308 the priory was castigated for failing to provide. The church
was cruciform in structure, with the lay end, unusually at the east
end, and the Nun’s end being to west of the central crossing
tower. Shortly after the dissolution the Nun’s part was
demolished, with only a few remains visible by 1784 It appears that
the late 14th century misericords (choir stalls) were removed from
the Nun’s Church and placed in the parish church where they
remain along with 14th century chest tombs of a knight and lady,
16th century screen and 17th century pulpit.
