The First Fort At Paull
The first Fort to be be built at Paull was completed in 1542. This fort was commissioned by Henry VIII as a defence for the then thriving Humber Ports, specifically Kingston Upon Hull. A look into the Forts life during Henry VIII's reign can be found in one of the Fort's Caponieres ( a tunnel within a tunnel ).You can even see the man himself in all his finery.
