Hall Garth Park

The moat was the site of the rectory of Hornsea's parish church which, during the Middle Ages, was owned by the Abbey of Saint Mary in York. The church lies immediately to the south of the moated site. The house which stood on the island was sold during the reign of James I (1603-1625). This house had been demolished by 1787, by which time a new vicarage had been built to the south of the moated site. The site was incorporated into the town's public park in the nineteenth century, and was later used as a feature in a golf course, one of the park's facilities.
