It's one and the same. Hook was a township in the parish and peculiar of Snaith. The parish church was the Priory church of St. Laurence at Snaith. Snaith was a rather large parish, and as well as the parish church, it had chapels of ease at Airmyn, Carlton (juxta Snaith), Hook, and Rawcliffe. The one at Hook was dedicated to St. John. In the late nineteenth century the parish of Snaith was broken up into a number of smaller parishes, and Hook became a township in the new parish of Hook. The chapel of ease of St. John became the parish church, and was re-dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin.
