History

Because of increased mobility of an increasing population, the parishes of Drypool, Garrison Side, Hessle Within, Marfleet, Newington, Southcoates and Sutton Within were abolished on 25 March 1898 and added to the parish of Sculcoates.[2] In 1951 the parish had a population of 255,961.[3] On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished and became part of Kingston upon Hull unparished area.[4]

For many centuries, much of what was called Hull came within the parish of St Mary's Church.

Sculcoates railway station closed on 9 June 1912.
