EXPLORE HOWDEN WITH HULL TRAINS

Steeped in history, William the Conqueror gave the town of Howden to the Bishops of Durham in 1080. Howden has beautiful Georgian architecture, historic coaching inns, and narrow cobbled streets, and is home to the impressive Howden Minster which dates back to the 14th century. Explore the charming Georgian town centre where you'll find Howden Market taking place on Fridays outside the Shire Hall. Why not take a peaceful stroll through Howden Marsh to get your fix of nature and wildlife-spotting.

Howden Minster

High Bridge, Howden, Goole, East Yorkshire, DN14 7BS Tel: 0370 333 1181

Mentioned in the doomsday book, Howden Minster is a Grade I listed Church. Not only does it date back to the 14th Century, but it is one of the largest and most magnificent churches in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 135-foot tower dominates the Howden landscape and was built by Bishop Walter Skirlaw around 1390. Although the Chancel collapsed during a thunderstorm on St. Stephen's Day 1696, the ruins remain today (view-able only from the outside), and are attached to the still operational minster church.
