Grimsby - Grimsby Minster

Grimsby is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having a population of around 200, a priest, a mill, and a ferry.
Since its foundation, Grimsby Minster has been the parish church of the parish, which prospered from fishing. In 1114, an older church building was given to Robert Blouet, who was Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Seals of England in 1092/93 and then became Bishop of Lincoln. He enlarged the building, but it was not until the 14th/15th century that it took on its present appearance with the addition of the crossing tower, two aisles and a new choir.
