'The Humber from Paull' Original Watercolour le121 |
Paull has been in existence
since at least the eleventh century and most probably much longer. A settlement
on the same site as the present village is recorded as 'Pagula', which
is the Latin term for a stake marking a landing-place. The land is extremely
low-lying. The villagers of Paull were, until recent times, dependent
on the Humber for their livelihoods and much of their transport, so a
marker visible from the seaward approaches would have been essential to
ensure a safe landing. |
