History, architecture, amateur radio all under one roof

After a successful event last year, we announce there will be:
- Amateur radio will broadcast as part of Churches and Chapels on the Air (CHOTA)
- A local historical presentation of Eastrington and the local area in the past (photos on a screen).
- The Howden Civic Society will join us to promote their work
- Children’s family tree sheets and church activity sheets
- Refreshments available
The Church of St Michael’s, Eastrington is Listed Grade I church with Norman, and potentially older origins and stands within a churchyard 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.
