Church Of St Giles

The Church of St Giles is a parish church located in Kingston upon Hull, built in 1884 by architect J.T. Webster. It is constructed of rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof, designed in the Early English style. The church has a chamfered plinth, sill band, and eaves, with coped gables that include crosses on the eastern gables. It is buttressed throughout and consists of a nave, chancel, and vestry.

The chancel has three bays and features a triple lancet window with plate tracery and a hoodmould on the eastern side, along with three cusped single lancets on the southern side. The northern side has an attached gabled vestry that includes a side wall stack, a doorway to the east, and a triple lancet window to the north. The nave contains three double lancets with quatrefoil heads on either side. The west end has a projecting central bay with a double chamfered cusped doorway, hoodmould, and mask stops, above which is a double lancet window with a quatrefoil head, hoodmould, and imposts. At the top, there is a cross-gabled single bell turret topped with a cross, flanked by single lancet windows.

Inside, the chancel features a double rebated moulded arch with imposts and a matchboarded waggon roof. The east end has traceried wooden panelling and a reredos dated 1921 and 1930, along with a stained-glass window by Kempe from 1905. There is a chamfered pointed doorway to the north and three windows to the south. The nave also has a matchboarded waggon roof and a corniced wooden porch at the west end. The windows in the nave do not contain stained glass.

Notable fittings include an octagonal ashlar font dated 1864, benches with shaped ends from the 19th century, and stalls from around 1920. The church also features a decorated style traceried octagonal oak pulpit, desks, and a buttressed lectern from the mid-20th century. Memorials within the church include a marble tablet with an urn and crest from 1831, another with an obelisk and draped urn from 1836, and a larger memorial with an obelisk, crest, urn, and figure from 1854, all signed by J.
