As I noted on 5th April this is work in progress (along with history of Hull parks s.p.n.).
The picture shows a map of Sculcoates parish, surveyed in 1691 but published 1725 (?), and shows Sculcoates church near the west bank of the River Hull (not to be confused with the windmill symbol). At the crossroads of the ‘Beverley and Cottingham’ road now stands the Haworth Arms while ‘King’s Baneke’ is now Clough Road. A post-enclosure field west of Sculcoates churchyard was soon to be acquired by the parish of Holy Trinity church, Hull as its second overflow cemetery following the rapid filling-up of the initial overflow cemetery on Castle Street. The problems of burgeoning churchyards are discussed in my Publication (page 3) A study of the historical context of burial, cremation and the development of civil cemeteries, pages 21-23.
For a while the solution to chronically overcrowded churchyard burial sites was the development of a private necropolis (see A study of the historical context of burial …) and such a development was discussed in Hull (see The Genesis of the Hull General Cemetery, Part 2 in the Hull Civic Soc. Newsletter, June 2017).
However it was principally a series of Burial Acts in the 1850s which required the provision of public cemeteries by local authorities at the ratepayer’s expense (see A study of the historical context of burial …).
Re the blog of 27th June have come across a good book – Mileson, S.A. Parks in Medieval England (Oxford, 2009).
Personal – Hot, sultry day. Travelled to Skipsea on Holderness coast to investigate static caravan for sale, discovered site now has no access to beach and cara. was really old. So explored site at Ulrome and Barmston, also had no direct access to beach and site fees on these soulless sites averaging £4000 p.a. Gave up. Maybe need to try Fraisthorpe. Don’t want to pay for all these ‘facilities’ I would never use. Visited Gail way back. Salad tea at R. Thankfully evening cooler.
