The manor of North Cave for many generations belonged to the family of the Methams, knights.

The Church was of the patronage of the Meauxs, knights, till it was appropriated to the Carthusians at Hull, when there was a Vicarage ordained therein. After the dissolution the patronage came to the Ellerkers, from them to the Melthams, Worsleys, Montgomerys, and Burtons.

H. Burton, Esq. is the present patron and impropriator.

Torre mentions no ordination, but says, " 7th Dec., 1318, Commission issued to the Bishop of Ely to dedicate this Church, then newly built."

The first Vicar named in Torre's Catalogue was presented previous to 1399.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's Taxation at £53. 6s. 8d. In the King's books, the Vicarage is valued at £10. 7s. 6d.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 354, it is stated : " Vicarage, £40 per annum ;" and recommended that " North Cliffe and South Cliffe be made a separate parish."
