Bessingby is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south west of the town of Bridlington. It lies to the east of the A614 road.

Tucked away to the left of the churchyard as you enter is a wooden bench - the only memorial bench on the site. This was placed in memory of ex-Bridlington woman Lynn Maureen Metcalfe (née Jervis) who married John Metcalfe at the church in March 1984 and their daughter Camille was christened there in 1985. Lynn died in 1987 and is buried in Stratford Upon Avon.
