Mappleton Supplementary

In 1822, the following places were in
the Parish of Mappleton:

---

"GREAT COWDEN, (or Great Colden), in the parish of Mappleton, and wapentake and liberty of Holderness, pleasantly situated near to the sea coast; ¾ mile S. of Mappleton, 3½ miles SSE. of Hornsea. Population with Little Cowden, 146.

The Church, a rectory, in the patronage of the King, is swallowed up by the sea, and the village is reduced to a few farm houses. Little-Cowden formerly contributed to the church of Mappleton, but is now annexed to Aldbrough. There is a list of the Rectors distinct from the Vicars of Aldbrough down to 1639."

"GREAT HATFIELD, in the parishes of Mappleton and Sigglesthorne, wapentake and liberty of Holderness; 2¾ miles SE. of Sigglesthorne, 4 miles SW. of Hornsea. Population 127. This village appears to have been a place of some importance, from an ancient stone cross of exquisite workmanship, which stands in the centre of the place. There is here a burial place, but no place of worship, the Chapel which formerly stood in it having been destroyed by fire about a century ago. The site of the sanctuary is marked by a large monumental stone bearing this inscription:-

HERE LIETH THE BODY OF EXPOPHER CONSTABLE, A.D. 642."
