Hull Minster, or Holy Trinity as it used to be called, is not only a place for worship, it also brings together various groups of people to enjoy a safe and inclusive environment.

Holy Trinity was once known as the largest parish church in England and dates aback to 1285. It is a Grade 1 listed building.

It became Hull Minster in 2017, when Hull was celebrating being the UK’s City of Culture. Since then it has become a focal point for many varied events throughout the year. It is a place where you can sit silently with your thoughts, or, you can meet family and friends for lunch in the café.

The Minster on the framework is viewed from the South Side and you can see the Holy Trinity on the flag pole, along with many stained glass windows. We have also tried to represent some of the many things connected to the Minister including, a graveyard, memorial wreaths and the infamous mice, created by Robert Thompson. We also wanted to include bells as part of the project, as we were certainly recently informed that throughout the war years, and more recently, through the restoration of the Minster, the bells had to remain silent. Once the war was over, the bells rang loud for all to hear.

The Hull Minster Crafters meet on a monthly basis to complete a different craft each month, all materials are provided free of charge, along with a friendly and comfortable space, which includes home made biscuits and/or cakes.

As a collective, we talked about the background. We used ribbons of many colours and materials that we all had at home in our various craft stashes. We hope you enjoy our interpretation of Hull Minster.
