Amateur radio meets one of the architecturally trickiest churches in the East Riding
High Street, Eastrington, East Riding of Yorkshire, DN14
Amateur radio enthusiasts will join with amateur radio stations in the UK and beyond to air and take part in the Churches and Chapels on the Air (CHOTA) at what Pevsner states is one of the trickiest churches in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
There will be
- an exhibition of artefacts and old photographs during the day and Susan Butler, a local historian will be on hand to answer any questions.
- an archaeological walk and talk around the church by local expert, Stephen Lonsdale.
The Parish Church of St Michael’s, Eastrington is Listed Grade 1 church with Norman, and potentially older origins and stands within a churchyard surrounded by houses and in the centre of the village. Entering through the oldest feature, the South Porch, visitors will note a two-tiered Norman frieze, depicting paired beasts.
The present structure is of mainly 12th, 13th and 14th Century, with significant additions of the Chapels. The Church has a West tower and arcaded East and West aisles, a Chancel with chapels each side and a South porch. Much of the historic and archaeological history is undiscovered.
St Michael’s hosts an alabaster figure of Sir John Portington from circa 1453, interestingly showing him with a rare combination being robed as a judge over the armour of a knight.
Mostly accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters users and access to a disabled toilet.
