St Augustine's

The church sits quietly in Driffield's centre, all stone and history without any fuss. St Augustine's is the sort of place you stumble across rather than plan for - a proper medieval structure with enough character to warrant a twenty-minute wander if you're passing through town.

What you're actually looking at is a Grade II listed building with solid perpendicular architecture. The interior's got decent stained glass and the usual Victorian restoration touches that English churches picked up in the 1800s. It's not Beverley Minster - nothing like it - but there's a quiet dignity to the place that rewards a proper look around rather than a quick glance.

This works well for church architecture enthusiasts or anyone with a genuine interest in East Yorkshire's medieval past. Families with young kids might find ten minutes enough unless they're seriously into that sort of thing. The real value is as a break during a broader wander around Driffield itself, which is a proper working market town rather than a tourist trap.

Since opening hours and admission details aren't listed, ring ahead or check when you arrive in town. The surrounding holiday parks - WoodLake, Burton Constable, and High Farm are all within four miles - make decent bases if you're exploring the area properly. You'll want to couple it with Driffield's Market Place and the wider East Yorkshire countryside rather than expect it to fill an afternoon on its own.
