About

St Mary's ward lies within the historic market town of Hedon. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing from different periods surrounding the town's core. Its boundaries encompass local amenities, schools, and green spaces that serve the community. The ward's layout reflects the town's development over time, with older properties near the centre and newer builds on the outskirts.

The ward is defined by its position just north of Hull's urban fringe, maintaining a distinct town identity. Its most notable landmark is the medieval St. Augustine's Church, known locally as the 'King of Holderness' due to its imposing scale in the flat landscape. The weekly market continues a tradition dating back to the town's royal charter. Agricultural land and drainage channels typical of Holderness surround the built-up area.
