Pocklington

Is a brisk and thriving market town, situated near the western foot of the Wolds, in the Wapentake of Harthill. and partly in the liberty of St. Peter; 7 miles N. W. of Market Weighton. 13 miles E. of York. 26 miles N. W. of Hull, and 195 miles N. by W. of London. The market is held every Saturday: and four annual
cattle fairs are held. March 7th., May 6th., August 5th., and November 9th. The Canal, which extends from the river Derwent, at East Cottingwith. to Bridge street, about a mile from the town, was cut pursuant to an Act passed in 1814. The York and North Midland Railway passes close to the town. The population of
Pocklington in 1841. was 2,552 inhabitants; and its township contains 2.445a. lr. 29p. of land, belonging to several proprietors. Its parish includes also Ousthorpe and Yapham-cum- Meltonby townships. The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is a
large Gothic fabric, with an embattled tower; and having in its interior monuments to Dolman, Denison, and other families. John Dolman. M.D., of York, has recently erected a handsome mural monument, consisting of three compartments of black marble, in the central compartment is represented,in a recumbent posture, Thomas Dolman. Esq., a justice of the peace for the East Riding of Yorkshire, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and a member of the Quorum, who died in 1589, to whose memory the monument is erected, accompanied by a kneeling figure of his wife, the sole heiress of a member of the ancient house of Vavasor, In the right hand compartment are represented, upon their knees, the three sons who survived their father; and on the left, the five daughters, in a similar position; the whole is surmounted by tbe
arms of the Dolman family, quartered with those of the Vavasors; and on a pedestal, in the nave, is an ancient stone, on which is sculptured the crucifixion, and inscribed " Pray for the soul of John Sutherby." The living is a vicarage, now valued at £112., in the patronage of the Dean of York, and incumbency of the Rev. James Francis Ellis. Here are four other places of worship, viz. a Catholic Church, with a house for the priest; an Independent Chapel, with a house, and an annual endowment of £10.; and the Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel here.The town enjoys the benefit of a richly endowed Grammar School, arising from the munificence of John Dolman, or Dowman. L.L.D., archdeacon of Suffolk, who died in 1526. In the 6th of Henry VIII. he obtained a license to found, in the parish church, a " Guild of the name of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Nicholas the Bishop." for a master, two guardians, and a number of brethren and sisters; and leave was also given to the founder
to grant lands. &c. to the said guild, for the purpose of supporting a learned man to teach grammar to all scholars resorting to Pocklington for instruction. He also conveyed certain lands in Yorkshire and Derbyshire to the masters and
fellows of St John's College. Cambridge, for the maintenance in that College of five scholars, to be nominated by the above guild; those of his name and kindred, and the scholars of the school which he had founded, to have the preference. After the dissolution of the Guild, in the reign of Edward VI., the school
was re-constituted as a Free Grammar School, and is now one of the most liberally endowed scholastic institutions in the kingdom. The founder was of the ancient family of Dolman, or Dowman. who at an early period were Lords of Lastingham. Here is also a National School, built in 1819. by R. Denison. Esq.; and an Oddfellows' Hall, and Temperance Hall. Petty Sessions are held
in the town the first Saturday in every month.

County Court, held at the Odd Fellows' Hall and comprises 47 parishes and townships. William Raines. Esq., judge ; Henry Powell, clerk; John Nathan Lowe, bailiff. Actions may be brought in the County Court to recover debts of
every description not exceeding £50.

The Poor Law Union comprises 47 parishes and townships. The Guardians meet at the Plume of Feathers, Swine Market, every alternate Saturday, at one o'clock in winter, and two in summer. Mr William Cook, clerk.

OUSTHORPE township, 2 miles N. by E. of Pocklington, contains only about 20 inhabitants, and 330 acres of land. The principal resident farmers are John Kilby, Charles Green, and Thomas Hodge, and corn miller.

YAPHAM-CUM-MELTONBY, two small villages, the former two miles N. N. W. and the latter two and a half miles N. of Pocklington, form a township and chapelry. containing about 200 inhabitants, and 1,820 acres of land, belonging to various owners. The Chapel at Yapham, was built in 1777, and is in the patronage of the dean of York. Here is a School, at which twelve or fourteen poor children receive gratuitous instruction, in consideration of part of the
rent of the chapel lands. The poor have also 3s. 4d. per year
from Wood's charity.
