Heritage

Hackness is mentioned as the site of a double monastery or nunnery by Bede, writing in the early 8th century. The present Church of Saint Peter is a Grade I listed building, parts of which date from the 11th century. [2]

The church also possesses fragments of a high cross dating from the late 8th or early 9th century. These preserve parts of a Latin prayer for Saint Æthelburh and an illegible inscription, apparently in the runic alphabet. [3]
