Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: HUNMANBY.     Church dedication: ALL SAINTS.     Church type: Vicarage in charge.

Area, 7,200 acres. -Dickering wapentake. -Population, 1,079; Church-room, 500; Net value, £350. -A Church existed at Hunmanby, at the time of the Domesday Survey.

The Church of Hunmanby is endowed with one carucate of land, which together with the Chapels of Burton, Newton, Geldston, Reighton, Fordon, Barkedale, Folkthorpe, Muston, Straxton, and Ergham, was given by Walter de Gaunt to the Abbey of Bardney, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein in 1269 *1. Of these, Barkedale and Folkthorpe are demolished, but the towns continue parcel of the Parish of Hunmanby. As for Straxton and Geldston, the recollection of them seems to be lost.

The Osbaldestons appear to have presented soon after the Dissolution. Wold Newton, Burton Fleming, Ergham, Muston, and Reighton, are now become Parish Churches, but they still continue Members of the Parish as to the repairs of the Church, and all of them except Reighton bury there ; Reighton has right of sepulture.

Patron and Impropriator, H. Osbaldeston, Esq.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation, at £105. 11s.; in the King's Books, the Vicarage is valued at £20. 1s. 6d.; Synodals, 4s.; Procurations, 8s.; and Pension to the Abbey of Bardney, 6s. 8d.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. p. 414, it is stated : " The Parsonage is in Mr. Osbaldeston's hands, worth yearly £180; the Vicarage is worth £70 per annum."

8th May 1784, faculty to erect a gallery.

27th May 1811, ditto to alter the Church porch.

Inclosure Acts were passed 12th Geo. II., and 39th and 40th Geo. III.

The glebe house is fit for residence.

The Register Books commence in 1584.

Charities:
Cowton's Charities, vide Bridlington. At the time of the Report, the two-thirds applicable to the use of the poor of Hunmanby, were received by the Vicar (Archdeacon Wrangham) and the late Humphrey Osbaldeston, Esq., and applied as follows :-Five guineas a year, with other moneys voluntarily contributed by the Trustees, to the purpose of a Parish Dispensary for the poor gratuitously, under the care of a surgeon resident in the place ; six guineas a year, or thereabouts, laid out in coals for the poor women in the Almshouse ; and the rest of the money, amounting to about £40; distributed in moieties at Christmas and Easter among the poor, according to a list settled by the Trustees themselves, and in such proportions as they think proper. From sixty to seventy poor persons annually partake of this charity. The distribution is not confined to poor persons belonging to the parish, but extended to other resident poor, who by a long course of honest labour in the parish are thought to have acquired a claim, and a preference is shown to members of the Church of England, constant in attendance on its services, which is in conformity to the implied intention of the testator.

The Widows' Hospital, origin unknown. -Three tenements, each containing two rooms, occupied by widows placed there by Mr. Osbaldeston's family. The sum of £7 per annum, rent charge, is divided among the widows, and each widow is supplied by Mr. Osbaldeston with a peck of barley a month. The number of widows seldom exceeds four. -Vide 9th Report, page 746.

A post town.
