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 2,445 a. 1 R. 29 p. 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 and a member of the ancient house of Vavasor. In the right hand copartment 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 the 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 * 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 Chapel, 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, rising 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 Odd Fellows' 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 iu 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.
