ROOS: East Riding of Yorkshire Parish

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE PARISH #129: ROOS
Are we ready for another big one? In this one, we’ll be all over the place thanks to how many settlements fall within the parish boundaries of Roos. Let’s start with Roos itself though. Its located on the Holderness Coast some 3 and a half miles away from Withernsea along the B1242. A typical East Yorkshire village, it has several notable landmarks including two pubs, a church, a school and a few shops.
This is the East Riding village where the de Ros family originated, a very important family in English history. In 1215, Robert de Ros, was one of the twenty five barons appointed under clause 61 of the Magna Carta agreement, to monitor its observance by King John of England. Roos also has a connection to the author Tolkien. Although he spent a lot of time in the East Riding in general, it was here in Roos where he gained the inspiration for the meeting of Beren and Luthien in his works The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings, thanks to hemlocks at Deans Garth.
Roos has several satellite villages, namely Tunstall, Hilston and Owstwick. These include a barrage of other historical gems like a former Quaker hotbed, and a beach cobble church. There’s also an octagonal tower, which was built in 1750 as a lookout for Joseph Storr, the father of Rear Admiral John Storr, who we met in Humbleton.
So get ready folks, this one’s quite the journey. Welcome to Roos, and everything that comes with it!

I recall Tunstall Roos (or just Tunstall, near to the holiday park) had a very rare Telephone box with a bult-in post box. There in the 1980s.

[@Thoomas2001]

Here's a nice little fact for you: roos is the Dutch name for the rose.
Also, Hilston's church is one of my favorite churches I've seen on this channel. It's the kind of design I really enjoy.

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Is that because you have that kind of design in the Netherlands? I don't know, because I've never been, but I imagine Dutch churches to look similar

[@Thoomas2001]

@@TheVillageIdiot Old Dutch churches are somewhat similar to about half of the churches I see on this channel; most of them prominently feature tall spires reaching into the sky. Material-wise they're kinda different though, with most churches here being brick I think. In my neck of the woods, most churches are much newer though, because I live close to the German border and many churches here were destroyed during the war. Still, many churches do have spires, and some churches are just recreations of the destroyed ones. There's definitely many kinds of modern designs in all shapes though, and as a fan of unique, modern architecture, I love those kinds of churches. Hilston has a church that perfectly fits that.
Funnily enough, I don't think I've ever seen a church with battlements here, though that seems to be very common over there.
