Preston

Preston can be assumed to have been an important ecclesiastical centre before the Norman Conquest, as its name is a contraction of ‘priest’s town’. The Domesday Book mentions it with Baldwin of Flanders as its lord in 1086, himself a vassal of Drogo of la Beuvrière (see Hedon), along with 56 villagers, 7 smallholders and 3 men-at-arms, adding “there is a priest here and a church”.

In 1115 the church at Preston was among those given to Aumale abbey in Normandy (see Hedon), but it was later ceded to the archbishop of York, who endowed the subdeanery with it in 1228. A vicarage had been ordained by the 1260s, and one of the holders of the office (1363) was Robert de Pickering, member of a junior line of the Pickerings of Oswaldkirk. The vicars of Preston also served Hedon. In 1293 Preston church took the name of All Saints. The building consists of a chancel with a north aisle, an aisled and clerestoried nave and a west tower. It is largely built of boulders, the exterior being clad in ashlar and rubble, whereas the interior was covered in plaster, which was removed in 1982. The chancel was rebuilt in the early 14th century, but retains earlier lancet windows, and the north aisle was added soon afterwards.

The north aisle is separated from the chancel by two arches, giving access to a chantry in honour of the Virgin Mary founded in 1341 by Hugh of Preston, the parson of Halsham. Hugh obtained a grant from king Edward III for a priest “perpetually to celebrate thereat for the souls of the said king, the canons of York, and of M. Robert of Pickering (Master Robert of Pickering, Dean of York, Archdeacon of Nottingham, died 1332), and the soul of the said Hugh de Preston, and his parents, &c.”. It became known as Pickering’s chantry and the office of chantry priest was occupied for at least two centuries after its founding. The chantry is now used as a vestry and organ chamber.

In the early 16th century the south aisle, clerestory and pinnacled tower were added to the church. Extensive restoration work was undertaken in the 1800s.

Arable land was already extensive in 1086 and agriculture remained the principal activity in Preston until the 20th century, although some weaving took place between the 16th and 19th centuries. Much of the parish lies less than 7m above sea level so, to protect it from flooding, banks were built and the land was drained, the main drains being Old fleet and New fleet that flow respectively into the Humber estuary and Hedon haven. There is evidence that they were used for the shipment of grain in the 16th century and coal in the 17th.

The area of Preston parish was reduced by the establishment of Hedon in the 12th century, and the detached parts of Dyke and Lelley did not compensate for this loss, as Dyke became depopulated and Lelley was eventually transferred to the neighbouring parish of Elstonwick. There were 371 poll tax payers at Preston in 1377, and the village contained 81 houses in 1438. Ninety households were listed in the hearth-tax return of 1673, the figure rising to 140 families in 1743 and 160 in 1764. Over the following centuries the population rose steadily to reach 1,422 in 1921, it exceeded 2000 in 1951, dipped in 1971, and stood at 3,258 in 2011 when the latest census took place.

Preston has long been well served by roads, an early one being the route connecting the village to Preston staith or stakes, later straightened and named Staithes Road. Another route ran from Preston to Marfleet and thereafter to Hull, but in the 1700s the main road to Hull ran via Bilton, and it was not until 1830 that Preston could benefit from the more direct route linking Hedon with Hull which was built through its southern end.

Like many Holderness villages Preston has a linear plan, and the old enclosures extended along most of the east-west road which separates North Field from South Field, both areas having already been mentioned in the late 13th century. The new enclosures of 1777 brought about many changes, including the village’s orientation along the north-south axis called Kirkeholme Street (later Main Street), which had been turnpiked in 1745. Housing was concentrated along this road in the 18th and 19th centuries and part of All Saints’ churchyard was taken over to widen it in 1831, though it retains a sharp bend to this day. Three plots were awarded to Pickerings in 1777, two along Cottage Road (now Manor Road) and one on Staithes Road. William Pickering (1714-1770) from Hutton Cranswick was already established in the town as a bricklayer, and by the time of the new enclosures his sons William and Michael had followed him in the trade, Michael also having a licence to sell ale in 1776 and 1777.
