Paull (archaic ''Paul'', ''Pall'', ''Pawle'', ''Pawel'', ''Paulle'', ''Paghel'', ''Paghill'', ''Paghil'', ''Pagula''〔) is a village and civil parish in Holderness, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, lying on the north bank of the Humber Estuary, east of the watercourse known as Hedon Haven. The village is situated approximately east of Kingston upon Hull. ==Geography== The western part of the civil parish of Paull centred on the village of Paull on the banks of the Humber estuary and is bounded by the Hedon Haven watercourse to the west and north, and the Humber estuary to the south; the northeastern boundary of the parish is coincident with the Newton Garth, Haylands, Green's, Riggs, and South Ends & Thorney drains; the parish extends approximately southeast along the bank on a strip approximately wide and from Paull bordered to the north by the Sands and Keyingham drains, and the 'Old Channel', with the Ottringham drain at the eastern boundary. To the north and west are the town of Hedon and the Salt End refinery and chemical works in the parish of Hedon. The other bounding parishes from west to east are Thorngumbald, Keyingham, Ottringham and Sunk Island.〔Ordnance Survey 1:25000 2006〕 The land in the civil parish is in agricultural use, and is low lying, mostly below above sea level, and extensively drained by canals and ditches. There are minor rises north and east of Paull at Rose Hill, Boreas Hill, and Holme Hill were the altitude reaches approximately ; there is a similar rise at the Paull battery, adjacent south east of Paull.〔 Along the Humber banks are extensive tidal mud flats.〔 According to the 2011 UK census, Paull parish had a population of 723, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 765. The banks of the Humber require flood defences, with all of the parish within the floodplain of the Humber estuary. As of 2008 the flood defences are thought to be in good condition, with standard of protection is estimate to be to a 1 in 80 or 1 in 100 years flood event. At Paull Holme Strays the flood protection banks have been cut (2004) to form an tidal mud flat based nature reserve. There are historic structures at Paull battery (now a museum Fort Paull) and Paull Holme Tower. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
