You can't go much further south on the Holderness peninsula than Easington (if you do, you'll get wet). The church dates to the Norman period, with a 12th-century north aisle and 13th-century south aisle. There are a 14th-century clerestory and west tower, and a 15th-century chancel.
Set into the wall of the north aisle is a lovely Early English doorway that may have been brought here from Birstall (Burstall) Priory, perhaps when that monastery sank into the Humber River due to erosion. Some of the north nave windows are made using Saxon grave slabs and evidence of the Saxon carvings can easily be seen.
