WITHOUT a doubt the most photographed public place in Hedon is the beautiful King of Holderness, the magnificent Church of St Augustine. On the Hedon Blog we take quite a few photos of the church which we use to accompany articles about it or events taking place there.
This year we are going to collect and gather together those photos and hopefully capture the changing appearance of the church throughout 2015. And we would like readers to join in! If you have a good image that perhaps shows St Augustine’s in a different light (can be taken literally) or is unusual in some way – then send it to us at hedonblog@gmx.com and we will publish the best here in a gallery.

This image of the church during the big freeze of December 2010 was taken by Jim Uney. Jim has quite aptly given this the title “The Frozen King” – stunning picture post-card image and historical record!
More snowy church shots by Jim Lindop – this time taken in January 2012 we believe.

This is our last entry to the 2015 photo challenge. Shows a foggy church taken by Grace Bailey on the 2nd November. Thanks Grace 🙂
Close ups on features on the church (exterior and interior) highlighted during the Hedon History Walk on 18th October 2015:
Another image of the church by Drone! This time by Steve Rimmer. Thanks Steve!
We have one by Andy Young already in the Gallery.
Just in case you had forgotten about our Church Photo Challenge!! Janet Bucknall has sent us this of the Stone cross:
Cracking beautiful photograph by ViceVersa Robbie (Facebbook link) who helped deliver HedFest inside The Church during August:
Another photo from me recording a photo taken this month (June 2015):
Vanessa Wilson has submitted these gritty images of the church:
We’ve had two more excellent submissions to our Photo Challenge by Jason Bryan:
The Church at sunset from Magdalen Lane.
and a really lovely Black and White atmospheric.
Katy Miller again – and they fit the brief of having been taken this year. A stunning gothic image and a very atmospheric shot too.
Added to the main gallery
Another selection of older pictures taken over three years by Katy Miller – We’ve added these above under the Older Photos section:
We’ve had this snowy batch of photos sent in by Jim Lindop taken in January 2012 I believe. We’ve added these under the 2010 shot by Jim Uney:
WE are still collecting photos of the “King of Holderness” – the beautiful St Augustine’s Church – for our Photo Challenge 2015. These were taken this month (March 2015) by Alan Galloway. Thanks Alan!
Alan’s great shots have been added to the Gallery collection in the article above.
This image doesn’t fill the brief of photographing St Augustine’s during 2015 – but WOW! what an image! Taken by Jim Uney in December 2010 durring the big freeze, he calls it “The Frozen King!”
GOLDEN VIEW of the Church taken a few day ago by Kev Brown – super shot!
It would be good to see more interior shots as well as the imposing exterior view. There are some lovely stained glass windows and interesting ancient memorials (witness the mediaeval stone knight to the side of the sanctuary for example.)
Chris Barnett has obliged Peter with three stunning images of the Church stained glass windows:
Andy Beecroft has submitted this set of photos taken this week of the Church – I love the patterns and details in the close-ups 🙂
TOM BOND from the church has sent us a selection of his photos taken over the years – we’ve put them together into a collage. It’s useful in that it shows some of the many viewpoints from which you can enjoy the majesty of ‘The King’.
These magnificent night time views of the church were taken this week by accomplished photographer Andy Beecroft. We’ve altered the gallery settings in the feature article above so that the latest images will show first.
This aerial view was taken by Andy Young using his new Christmas present – a flying drone!
Ah haaa, I wonder if this is the object I saw over my house on Friday night? It hovered for ages right above this end of Souttergate, then zipped over to the church, then back again. I thought the CIA had finally caught up with me…
Another marvellous image added by Linda Jennison dated 4th January. Thanks Linda!
