Hull Minster — Attraction in Great Britain

Lovely church, but rude and aggressive staff member, verger? My friend and I visited hull minster this afternoon we are both retired profession gentlemen over 75 , I have a disability being stone deaf we walked into Hull minster early this afternoon as we have done several times for a visit. As we walked round I couldn’t hear that a service was being conducted and as I am deaf I do tend to talk very loud, chatting away we walked to the end near the alter walked round to exit when this gentlemen walked out stoney faced never said a word and indicated that there was service on, I tendered my apologies not realising what was going on and we walked round to go out he just gesticulated for us to leave, as if he wanted us to go his whole demeanour was aggressive he looked stoney faced never even smiled, not the sort of treatment you get from the staff in a Christian church, he was a rather stocky fellow with grey hair, my point his he need some training with people with hidden disabilities . This is gods house and I am sure Jesus would have not treated us thus. Lovely...

I visited the Sistine Chapel facsimile exhibition on the 15th November. The Minster staff very welcoming and friendly. They apologised that our timed visit was coinciding with preparations for a music concert.

My wife and I walked into an extended sound check for a Christian music event. At times they drowned out the audio guide and were very distracting. It was going on for the 30 minutes or so of our visit. The audio narrative was also very wordy and monotonous so I ended up turning it off.

The area behind the stage was part of the exhibition. They were moving the images as I was trying to look at them. They could see what I was trying to do but there was no engagement by these people with me. It was if I wasn't there. I felt they were quite rude.

Hull Minster, formerly known as Holy Trinity Church, is not as well known as Beverley or York Minster but is steeped in history. Located in a lovely old part of the city, it is close to Whitefriargate and Princes Quay and adjacent to the indoor market. I have visited many times and am always impressed by the warm welcome of the volunteer guides and the general atmosphere. Every time I visit I notice something new-yesterday it was the 2 small stained glass windows which are at floor level. When you visit, take your time; there’s history beneath your feet, on every surface and above in the stunning ceiling decorations. Like many churches there are memorials to the fallen; Hull Minster also has a very moving tribute to the many lost at sea from the fishing industry. At the end of your visit pop into the cafe for a drink and choice of delicious cakes, jacket potatoes etc. Hull Minster regularly hosts events so look out for information about free and...
