| Access road to church leaves the A614 at SE 8200 3901 & there is plenty of room for parking by church entrance - Didn't go through lych gate, but followed the dirt track around outside of the perimeter wall for about 130m to a large wooden gate - Wide grass paths can then be followed to within 20m of summit by hedge. Lovely spot with vast number of yews. | gerrybowes | 01/09/2022 |
| Well-tended cemetry S and W of church has levelled sections. Ridge under line of new fence along south of cemetry is apparent highest permanent (if not natural) ground. Unnatural mound by mast is less permanent - probably spoil from adjacent underground reservoir - may be higher. | henryfm | 26/06/2022 |
| Parked at the church and took a wander round the graveyard. The mound at the comms mast to the south looked like a contender but apparently it's man-made. | jonglew | 20/02/2022 |
| I had a good wander around the graveyard, no penance as it was all simply lovely. A superb Tump. | Colin Crawford | 07/10/2021 |

| Last of 4 Tumps on 47-mile cycle ride from Brough to Howden. | IanHHill | 29/03/2018 |
| Tump bagging afternoon from holiday cottage near Bridlington, parked by church. | citygent | 27/03/2018 |
| Far-reaching views for zero effort | peebs | 27/11/2017 |
| Church access is off the very busy A614. Tarmac access road - signed Historic Church - to church car park best approached from East | carole engel | 25/11/2017 |
| Driving east on the A613, was just thinking it didn't look remotely like the sort of place to find a hill - then I found one. Parked at Harswell turn-off. Lovely little tump with peaceful graveyard. Shame the church was locked; sad sign of the times. 19 degrees, overcast. | Wycombe Wanderer | 20/09/2017 |
| Good view this evening | Moorponder | 19/08/2017 |
| Churchill. Ohhh yes | Martin R | 04/03/2017 |

| Fine spot for a church but burials might be a bit draughty.Some good views.With Oscar. | catman | 20/12/2016 |

| This is the best Tump summit in the East Riding of Yorkshire so well worth visiting all the likely summit alternatives. | Dugswell2 | 17/12/2016 |
| Car bagging with Dugswell. | Smudge | 17/12/2016 |
| Drove up to beautiful and extensive churchyard. Man made bunker is HP but natural HP seems to be at the south east of the churchyard. Military graves are all from Bomber Command. Soberingly young men. | Campbell Singer | 21/04/2016 |
| A point in the church yard seemed highest in my opinion | Adrian | 07/02/2016 |
| Walked up to the church from the road. Mound by mast higher but must be man made, otherwise the spot to the east of the hedge looks the likely high point. Looks like the graveyard has been extended to include this hedge. | yorkie | 18/01/2016 |
| From church. Another Tump with an ROC nuclear monitoring bunker on top. ( See also Mellor Moor 16726 & Weighton Wold 16915). Full list of these Cold War monitoring posts on Wikipedia. | ngthack | 20/12/2015 |
| Lovely graveyard with well tended graves of WW2 RAF personnel | Ramblingpaul | 20/09/2015 |
| Parked by Church mound by mast highest but probably man made. Good views | PeterD | 20/09/2015 |
| What a magnificent view point. The only hill riding from the plain.Drax and Ferrybridge power stations fields of rape seed and poppies. Wonderful | vegibagger | 11/07/2015 |
| Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 19/03/2015 |
| Southernmost graveyard probably has highest ground (or field just to east) but several contenders including 2m mound (presumably artificial) beside mast to south. Just after dark: one grave candle-lit, another with LEDs commemorating a 10-year-old's grave. This completes my East Riding P30s. | RHW | 14/02/2015 |
| Excellent views. Number of candidates,but area round mast looks slightly higher | Bramley | 27/09/2014 |
| Parked by church to north. | Jacqdaw | 15/08/2014 |
| Drove up to the church and had a wander about. Highest point appears to be bunker and mast rather than in the church grounds. | Aye Jimmy | 14/08/2014 |
| On a bitterly cold and sleeting January day I was delighted to discover that the church on top of the hill has a car park, Look for the signs to it (hard to spot). Highest spot is near mast. | moorsman | 31/01/2014 |
| I haven't done very well at finding new Tumps to be added to the list: as of 2015, my only two suggestions have been the unlikely combination of Church Hill and the West Lothian bings. We were in the habit of driving past this one on the way to and from my darling wife's parents at Burnby, and it looks like a proper little hill. Its direct parent is High Hunsley Wold. | Pete R | 24/12/2011 |
