While in Holy Trinity the other day I took the opportunity to photograph
some of the carved pew ends for which the place is well known. These
may look medieval but were actually carved in the 1840's during
restoration work on the church. They are the work of George Henry Peck
a man, seemingly, of many talents, painter, carver, art dealer, art entrepreneur
and musician who is possibly better known (if at all) in Australia than in
Hull.
How talented he was but not quite what I would expect in a church.
