INCLUDING THE TOWNSHIPS OF POCKLINGTON, YAPHAM AND MELTONBY AND OUSETHORPE.

POCKLINGTON is a market town and is the head of a rural district and county court district, with a station on the York and Market Weighton branch of the London and North Eastern railway, 198 miles from London, 16 by rail east from York, 6¼ north­west from Market Weighton, 27 north-west from Hull, 30 south-west from Bridlington and 32 south-west (54 by rail) from Scarborough, in the Howdenshire division of the Riding, Wilton Beacon division of the wapentake of Harthill, Wilton Beacon petty sessional division, rural deanery of Pocklington, archdeaconry and diocese of York.
Under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1894 (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), the town is governed by an Urban District Council of 9 members, in place of the former Local Board constituted under the Public Health Act, 1875, by Local Government Board Order No. 29,872, dated July 1st, 1893, but by the County of York, East Riding Review Order, 1935, this was abolished
On Oct. 1st, 1901, by Local Government Board Order No. 42,567, part of Barmby-on-the-Moor was added to Pocklington township and Urban District.
The town is lighted with gas from works near the West Green, built in 1886, at a cost of £8,000, and the property of the Pocklington New Gas Co. Limited, and is supplied with water from works 1 mile east of the town, erected in 1890 by the Pocklington Water Works
Co. Limited, but the main water supply is obtained from springs at Givendale, 3 miles distant; a consider­able stream rises near Millington and Great Givendale, and in its course through the parish works several mills and empties itself into the river Derwent.
The church of All Saints is a cruciform building of stone, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, with north chapel, clerestoried nave, aisles, transepts and a lofty embattled western tower (restored in 1913), with pinnacles, containing a clock and 6 bells, but traces of the Norman church still exist: there are several stained windows: the east window was erected by the late Admiral the Hon. Arthur Duncombe, of Kilnwick Percy; and there are memorial windows to members of the Loftus and Powell families: the font consists of a square basin of fossilized marble on a circular pedestal: there are several memorials to the Dolman and other families, including an elegant mural monument to Thomas Dolman esq. ob. 1589; another to Robert Southeby, ob. 1594; and a third to Robert Denison esq. d. 1829, and his wife, d. 1837: at the west end of the church is a beautifully carved cross, c. 1360, discovered in the churchyard: on the pedestal is a modern inscription in Latin, which translated reads:— '• Here Paulinus preached in the year 627 :" in the chancel is a large monument to the Denison family, formerly lords of the manor, over which is a carving in oak of " the Crucifixion," executed in Germany, about 1500; and well preserved: close to the foot of the pulpit is a stone to Margaret Easingwold, last prioress out one o[ t Benedictine nunnery of Wilberfoss: the church was partially restored and reseated in 1850; in 1854 the chancel walls were refaced, and in 1879 and 1889 father restorations were effected, at a cost of £1,150 the nave, roof and aisles were restored in 1901 at a cnst of £3,600: a memorial tablet was erected in 1920 to the men of this parish who fell in the Great War, 1914-18: there are 600 sittings. The re­gister dates from the year 1559. The living is a vicarage, so constituted in 1252, with the chapelries of Yapham and Meltonby and Ousethorpe annexed, joint net yearly value £370, including 21 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Archbishop of York, and held since 1933 by the Rev.

Hadfleld, of Sheffield, and consists of nave -with eastern apse: there are five stained windows, one of which was presented by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk: an organ gallery, the gift of the late Mrs. Thompson, of Pocklington, was erected in 1907: a .stained window representing the Crucifixion, was erected in 1920 as a memorial to the men connected with the church who fell in the Great War, 1914-18: there are 120 sittings, and attached is a residence for the priest.
The Congregational chapel in Chapmangate, erected in 1807, has an endowment of £60 yearly, bestowed by John Jackson, d. 1874, and will seat 350 persons; there is also a Methodist chapel in Chapmangate, and another in Union street, and the Plymouth Brethren meet in the Assembly Hall in Kirkland street.
The Burial Ground, Cemetery lane, opened in 1857, contains 6a. 1r. 10p. and has two small chapels, one for the church of England and the other for Dissenters; it is under the control of the Parish Council, acting as a burial authority.
The Police Court and Station, in George street, erected in 1899-1900 at a cost of about £3,500, are of red brick with stone dressings; the buildings comprise acourt room, magistrates' room, a witnesses' waiting room, and a police station, with residence for the superintendent.

The Masonic Hall, situated in The Mile, can be let for public meetings &c.

The Central Hall, in Peter's square, is used as a cinematograph theatre, and will hold about 350 persons.

The Assembly Hall, in Kirkland street, will hold 150 people.

An ornamental street lamp with granite pedestal was erected at a cost of about £150, in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

The local trade includes agricultural implement manufactories, and in the neighbourhood several corn and pearl barley mills.
The market is held every Saturday. There are four fairs held here annually—on the 7th of March, 6th of May, 5th of August and the 8th of November ; on the 8th of November there is a statute fair for hiring servants, and the auction is held every Tuesday.

About 1 mile south-west of the town is the Pocklington canal, the property of the London and North Eastern Railway Company: the canal, made under the pro­visions of an Act passed in 1814, is about 9 miles in length and extends to East Cottingwith, where it forms a communication with the river Derwent.
The trustees of the late Capt. Harry Whitworth are lords of the manor and hold a court leet, baron and copyhold court: there are also a large number of small freeholders.

YAPHAM and MELTONBY are two hamlets, about 1 mile apart, and constitute a chapelry in Pockling­ton parish; the former is 2 miles north-north-west, and the later 2 north-by-west, from Pocklington. The chapel of St. Martin is a plain building, consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and a western turret containing 2 bells: it was repaired in 1777-8, and restored about 1904, at a cost of .£400, and has 100 sittings. The great or rectorial tithe, amounting to £365, belongs to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and under an instrument of apportionment, dated 12 June, 1844, a sum of £204 18s. 9d. has been assigned to the benefice of Pocklington, and the rest retained by the Commissioners towards the payment of a curate. The glebe land here amounts to 21 acres, and £10 a year, given by a former dean of York, also belongs to the benefice. Here is a Methodist chapel. The rents of the chapel lands allotted at the inclosure in 1733 are expended by an arrangement of the Charity Commis­sioners, one fourth being applied to the repairs of the chapel, one fourth to the poor and one half to the school. Richard L. English esq. is the principal land­owner: 35. 4d. yearly is paid out of the Kilnwick Percy estate to this township and 39 other parishes receive various sums annually, in all amounting to £10, called the Woods dole; 4s. yearly is also received out of a farm at Yapham, left by H. Barlow esq. The soil is good loam, gravel and sand; subsoil, clay and gravel. The chief crops are wheat, barley, oats, peas and turnips. The township is well supplied with water from the Wold hills. The area is 1,888 acres; the population in 1931 was 207.
By the County of York, East Riding Review Order, 1935, this township was re-named Yapham.

EDUCATIONAL.

The   Endowed Grammar School, on West Green, was originally connected with a guild in the parish church, called " the Society of Brethren of the Name of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin & St. Nicholas of Pocklington," the seal of which, together with an ancient silver cocking bell, belonging to the school, is still preserved: the guild was founded by John Dolman LL.D. arch­deacon of Suffolk (one of a family who were for cen­turies lords of the manor of Pocklington), in the 6th year of Henry VIII. (24th May, 1514); & when sub­sequently, in the reign of that monarch, all such guilds were suppressed, the property originally left to the guild was preserved by the exertions of the founder's family for the benefit of the school: the Master & Fellows of St. John's College, Cambridge, under the arrangement then made, appointed the master of the school, who, in turn with the church wardens, ap­pointed the usher; & the master & usher together formed a corporation, called the "Corporation of Mas­ter & Usher of the Free Grammar School of Pock­lington." Attached to or connected with the school are the following scholarships & exhibitions:—1, Four Dowman exhibitions each of £40 yearly & tenable for 4 years at St. John's College, Cambridge ; 2, the Ackroyd exhibition of £50 for 3 years at either Oxford or Cambridge, may be competed for by boys from this school; 3, the Ann Watson exhibitions of £25 each yearly & tenable for 4 years at any university, are similarly open ; 4, three County Council scholarships of £60 yearly each, tenable for 3 years, by natives of or residents in the East Biding, at any college or university approved by the County Council The following are tenable only at the school:—1, Ten local exhibitions for day boys, each of the yearly value of £10 ; 2, entrance scholarships for boarders, of £20 to £50 each yearly, awarded by examination; 3, a limited number of entrance exhibitions of £10 to £15 The revenues of the school arose mainly from land situated in various parts of the East Riding, & amounted to about £1,000 a year; the land has since been sold & the proceeds invested. The Rev. T. Shields B.D. who became head master in 1807, suc­ceeded in considerably augmenting the income of the school, & in 1818 commenced the rebuilding of the school & master's house, eventually completed in 1848 by the Rev. F. J. Gruggen M.A.: in 1875 the Endowed Schools Commissioners completely re-organized the management of the schools & transferred the patronage from St. John's College to a governing body of 12 members. Alderman F. Smith J.P chairman; Arthur J. Oliver, Regent street, clerk to the gover­nors. During 1890-91 a gymnasium, chemical laboratory, infirmary & other buildings were erected, &; in 1898 the school was further enlarged by the addition of a new wing, at a cost of about £6,000; in 1921 a swimming bath was added & in 1923 Dolman house was bought as an additional boarding house; in 1927 a new Assembly hall was built; in 1932 new laboratories, class rooms & art rooms were added at a cost of £7,500, and extra common room accommodation provided; these were opened by 3rd Viscount Halifax K.G-., P.O., G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E.: there are now (1937) three boarding houses & about 185 boys;  head  master,  Percy  Cooper  Sands  M.A., J.P. late fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge
