or Sutton-on-Hull, was formerly an independent settlement c.5km NNE of the centre of the Old Town of Hull. It still
retains the character of a traditional village with winding streets of medieval origin overlooked by a 14th century church
and some property boundaries recalling the medieval open field system.
