A flourishing and very lively village pleasantly situated on the declivity of a small eminence, and consists of some elegant and well built houses. The church dedicated to St. Bartholomew, is a large Gothic structure, of which the King is patron, and the Rev. Nicholas Holmes the vicar. In the interior is an ancient circular stone fifteen inches in diameter, commemorating the building of the church, the inscription on which may be translated thus: ULF COMMANDED THIS CHURCH TO BE ERECTED FOR THE SOULS OF HANUM AND GUNTHARD, Ulf, here mentioned, is supposed to be the same who gave his estate to the church of York, and in this gift was included Aldbrough, where he had a castle, the foundation of which is now entirely levelled. The Roman road from Protorium to Gabrantiesoum Sinies, runs through Aldbrough. The following is a copy of an extract from an old history of York, which was lately found here, "York, 1291 1292. Jo. Spear, Mayor." These years the mayoralty was in the king's hands, and Sir John De Malso, or Meaux, was governor of the city, he was a great warrior and tall in stature, as appears from his armour, which is now to be seen in the church of Aldbrough, where he is buried under a stone monument representing him in full length lying, and also the figure of his wife.

A parochial village and vicarage, the present incumbent of which is the Rev. W. Dean, and Mosley the patron. This village was the residence of Robert Aske, who in the year 1536, headed the insurrection called the "Pilgrimage of Grace." Aske is represented in history as a man of daring and enthusiastic courage, a gentleman by birth, and of considerable talents. In the latter part of the reign of Charles 1. Sir Richard Aske was master of the crown office, and one of the council of the regicides. He appears to have been the last of the family that resided at Aughton. There are no remains of the ancient mansion or castle: but the site is marked by ditches or moats one within another, with the interior vallum raised to a great height, which shows it to have been a place of considerable strength. It is situated near the eastern banks of the ATWICKE, (P.) in the wap. and liberty of Holderness; 2 mls. N. of Hornsea. A small, though pleasant village, situated near the sea, from which it suffers greatly by the encroachments of the water, particularly in stormy weather; the greatest part of this village stands at the junction of three roads, in the centre of which stands an old stone cross, which, in the year 1786, was situated at the distance of thirty-three chains and sixtythree links from the sea, from the rudeness of the structure it appears to be of great antiquity, there is round its base a latin inscription, but rendered unintelligible by the dilapidations of time. The church, of which the King is patron, is a plain Gothic struc- Derwent. Population, 259. ture, dedicated to St. Lawrence. The Rev. James Wilson is the vicar and surrogate, for the dean and chapter: here is also a Methodist chapel, built in 1821; likewise a public school, endowed with about 30%. per annum, paid out of the several charities of this place.

Here is an ancient parish church, dedicated to St. Andrew. The living is a rectory, of the value of 1000l. per annum, in the patronage of St. John's College, Oxford, and when vacant is bestowed on the oldest B. D. of the college. The present incumbent is the Rev. John Bell, D. D. There are two chapels here, one belonging to the Wesleyan and the other to the Primitive Methodists. In former times a Beacon was erected near this village, for the purpose of alarming the surrounding country on the approach of danger, and this circumstance has given name to that division of Harthill called Bainton Beacon. William le Gross, a Knight of Malta, and Earl of Albemarle, was buried in this church. Population, 300. Farmers.

Here are two extraordinary springs of sulphuric and chalybeate water, denominated St. Peter's and St. Helen's Wells, the former of which is represented to possess the rare virtue of curing scorbutic eruptions by external application. The places of worship are a Chapel of Ease, dedicated to St. Helen, of which the Rev. Ralph Spofforth, vicar of Howden, is incumbent and patron; and a small Methodist chapel; there is also a Free Grammer school for ten boys. The inhabitants of this village have the singular privilege of electing their own pastor; all the male adults (with the exception of paupers) have the right of voting.
