Barmston and Fraisthorpe (also known as simply as Barmston) is a civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

History

The village of Barmston gave its name to the ancient parish and ecclesiastical parishes of Barmston.[4] The parish was bounded by watercourses of Earl's Dike (also known as Watermill Grounds Beck) to the north, and Barmston drain to the south.[4] In 1935 the civil parish was substantially enlarged with the addition of most of the parish of Fraisthorpe to the north, an increase of 1,995 acres (807 ha).[4][5]

The village of Hartburn on the Holderness coast was deserted after the 15th century and no longer exists due to coastal erosion.[6] The village was located just south of the outflow of Earl's Dike on the coastline.[7]

The hamlet of Winkton in the parish of Barmston had also been long abandoned by the 1850s.[8]

The village of Auburn in the former parish of Fraisthorpe was abandoned to coastal erosion, except for a farm;[map 1] the chapel was dismantled in the 1780s.[9]
