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


"BENTLEY, in the parish of Rowley, and wapentake of Harthill; 3½ miles NE. of Rowley, 3 miles SSW. of Beverley."


"HIGH HUNSLEY, a farm house (which gives name to the division) in the parish of Rowley, & wapentake of Harthill; 2 miles NW. of Rowley, 4 miles NE. of South Cave. Formerly this was a place of some consequence, and the foundations of ancient buildings are sometimes dug up here. See also Low Hunsley (below)."

"LOW HUNSLEY, a farm house, in the parish of Rowley, & wapentake of Harthill; 1½ miles WNW. of Rowley, 4 miles NE. of South Cave. See also High Hunsley (above)."

"RISBY, 2 farm houses in the parish of Rowley, and wapentake of Harthill; 2½ miles ENE. of Rowley, 4 miles SSW. of Beverley.

About 60 years ago, the mansion of the Ellerkers, here, was accidentally destroyed by fire. The Park at Risby, one of the most beautiful, in the Riding, is now occupied by a farmer."
