St Wilfrid''s Church Ottringham

The spire always looks like an afterthought, as if at some point the parish had a large bequest and decided to upgrade the original more typical square tower.
I found some interesting details in Wikipedia
"In 1823 parish inhabitants numbered 637. Occupations included twelve farmers, some of whom were land owners, four shoemakers, three grocers, two tailors, two wheelwrights, a blacksmith, a corn miller, a horse dealer, and the landlord of the White Horse public house. Two carriers operated between the village and Hull, South Frodingham, Holmpton, and Skeckling, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Letters were received and sent on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays by Wing's caravan [accommodation coach]. A Methodist chapel existed, built in 1815.[3]

Clearly the village was the commercial centre for quite a widespread agricultural society back then.
