Here was a priory of the Knights Templats, of the foundation of Lord Eustace Vercy, which survived that order, and was occupied by the Canons of St. Augustine till the suppression, when the site was granted to Thomas Culpepper. This village has, in succession, been the patrimonial possession of the Mortimers, the Poles, and the Bacons. The present church, dedicated to All Saints, and of which the King is the patron, seems only to be a part of a more spacious structure; it contains some handsome monuments of marble, two of which are erected to the memory of the Lillingston family, and one to the memory of the parents of Sir Henry Etherington, Bart.The village is delightfully situated at the foot of the hills, and not far from the shores of the Humber, to which there is a gentle descent. It is adorned by several elegant mansions. Pop. 347. Ayres Wilkinson, yeoman Carpenters, Birks Wm. schoolmaster and parish clerk Brown Thomas, gardener Carriers-Wm.

The Danes in their hostile attacks upon England, in the early periods of her history, were accustomed to make this one of their principal stations; in later times it was possessed by Harold, Earl of the West Saxons, and afterwards king of England; subsequently, Wm. Le Gross, the founder of Scarborough castle was its lord; it afterwards came into the hands of the Constables, whom some derive from the Lacies Constables of Chester. This family flourished here for some centuries, and a curious monumental inscription on a brass plate in the chancel of the church, records that Sir Marmaduke Constable, Knt. who fought in France under the banners of Ed- lofty temples, which set at defiance ail hu finely arched, and nearly fifty feet high at the centre. The many projecting ledges and fragments of suspended rocks, joined to the great elevation, give it an awful, and at the same time, a majestic appearance; and when looking upwards to survey the lofty arch, and reflect upon the superincumbent mass sustained by it, there is a difficulty in suppressing those ideas of danger which intrude upon such an occasion. On approaching the Eastern extremity, a noble vista is formed by its opening to the sea, which appears in its highest grandeur on emerging from the gloom of the cavern." The large masses of insulated rocks formed into columns and pyramids, add to the sublimity of the scene, and when viewed from the sea, seem to form the porticos to a range of ward IV. and Henry VII. was interred here. The church, an ancient building, dedicated to St. Oswald, of which the Archbishop of York, and Sir William Strickland, Bart. have alternately the patronage, is a euracy, and the Rev. William Kendall is the incumbent. Some vestiges yet remain of Danish possessions; an ancient ruin at the West end of the village, is called the Danes Tower, and the entrenchments formed round it, and still visible, have obtained for the place the designation of "Little Denmark." Flamborough Head is a lofty promontory overlooking the village, and forming one of the most magnificent objects, and greatest natural curiosities in the kingdom. The cliffs, which are of lime-stone rock, white as snow, extend in a range from five to six miles, and rise in many places to the elevation of 300 feet perpendicular from the sea. At the base of this mass of mouldering mountains are several extensive caverns, formed by some mighty convulsions of nature, or worn by the everlasting action of the ocean. The most remarkable of these excavations, are the Dove Cote, the Kirk Hole, and Robin Lyth's Hole; the last of which far surpasses the other in its grandeur and dimensions, and is thus described by the historian of Scarborough:-" It has two openings, one communicating with the land, the other with the sea. The former is low and narrow, giving solemn admission into the cavern, which at the first entrance is surrounded with a tenebrious gloom, but the darkness gradually dispersing, the magnificence becomes unfolded, and excites the admiration of the exploring stranger. The floor is a solid rock, formed into broad steps of an easy descent, and the stones at the sides ate curiously variegated. The roof is * Camden. man erections. At In the summer season the ridges of these immensely elevated cliffs, form the rendezvous of myriads of aquatic fowls, which resort to the North side of the promontory, from various regions, to build their nests, and rear their young. In the months of May and June, the rocks seem absolutely animated, being covered with innumerable birds of various plumage, exceeding in number the inhabitants of the largest city, and in varied hue the tints of the rainbow. the report of a gun, they are in instant motion, more alert than the inmates of a dwelling that has recently burst into a flame, and the eye is as much dazzled with the waving of their innumerable wings, brightened by the rays of the sun, as the ear is stunned with the clamour of a thousand discordant notes all bursting forth at the same moment of time. Hung in air as their nests seem to be, they are still not inaccessible to the depredations of man! boys are let down the rocks by ropes fastened to stakes, and bring away bushels of eggs for the use of the sugar house in Hull, without seeming to diminish their countless number. For many years the want of a Lighthouse at Flamborough had been felt by the mariners who navigated those seas, and deplored by the merchants whose property was exposed to danger, for want of so essential a monitor. The active mind, and the benevolent disposition of the late Mr. Milne, the collector of the customs at Bridlington, induced him to propose the erection of a light house on the Head, and the proposal was cordially received by the incorporated company of the Elder Brethren, of the Trinity-house, Deptford Strond, London: the site fixed upon was at the distance of nearly a mile and a half Eastward of the town, about 400 yards within the extreme S |
