Great Cowden is a hamlet on the North Sea coast in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Holderness. It is situated approximately three miles south of Hornsea and just east of the B1242 road.
In 1823 Cowden (as Great and Little Cowden) was also known as 'Coldon', and was in the parish of Mappleton. The parish incumbent's living was under the patronage of the King, although at the time the parish church had been swallowed by the sea. Population was 146, with occupations including eleven farmers.[1]
