The Village of Paull

Paull is a small riverside village in East Yorkshire. It has been here since at least the 11th century (it is mentioned in the Domesday Book, compiled for William the Conqueror.) Most of the 289 houses and cottages in the village are 18th century or later, but the parish church dates from the 13th century. The village school (opened in 1862) is tiny - only 32 pupils, aged from 4 to 11, in two classes!

The most obvious landmark in Paull is the Old Lighthouse.
It was originally built to warn ships off the sandbanks, but now it is a private home.

Main Street, Paull - busy, isn't it?

Paull is a nice place to live - we're out in the country but not TOO far from civilisation! We're surounded by farmland (mostly corn crops and oilseed rape) and there are riverside and woodland walks in the village, and a big field for us to play on.


On a clear day we can see the Humber Bridge, which used to be the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world. It links the counties of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, now that Humberside no longer exists.


Our nearest town is the ancient market town of Hedon, and the city of Hull, with all its shops and entertainments, is only seven or eight miles away.
