More about this scene
This large village was probably the first settlement in Holderness. The Manor House, far right, dates from 1743; the original owner was Elenor Ellis. The majestic 14th-century St Patrick's Church was not completed until after the Black Death, which wiped out half the village's population. The spire with its weathercock rises to 189ft and is a prominent landmark across the flat fields. Sir John Betjeman wrote that the church 'sails like a galleon of stone over the wide, flat expanse of Holderness'. Nearby Patrington Haven, once a small port, was overlooked once Sunk Island was enlarged. The former Patrington RAF wartime station is now a popular caravan and leisure park.
