In 1823 Kilnsea was a civil parish in theWapentakeandLibertyof Holderness. The parish church, dedicated to Saint Helen, was close to the cliff and in a "state of dilapidation" and "dangerous condition". Repairs were considered useless with the expectation that the sea, which had already swept away the graveyard, would take the church "in a short time". Population in 1823 was 196.[4]
The old St Helen's Church was lost to the sea in 1826, and was replaced by a newchurchin 1865, at a cost of £420, that incorporated some salvaged remains of the old building.[5]The church was listed as aGrade IIbuilding on 14 December 2018.[6]
