More about this scene
Part of the Warter Priory Estate, these cottages were extended upwards and thatched in the 1930s. The estate church of St James, completed in 1864 on the site of the 12th-century priory, is no longer used for worship; it is now an historic and educational resource under the control of the Wolds Preservation Trust, formed in 1996 to save the church from demolition. Ownership of the estate passed in 1878 from Lord Londesborough to the shipping owner Charles Wilson (1833-1907), MP for Hull. From 1906 he became Lord Nunburnholme.

War Memorials
A special selection of photographs from our Archive of the War Memorials that connect us with those who fought and perished in the conflicts that have shaped the world we live in today. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
