Eske is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, three miles north-east of the nearest town, Beverley and a mile north of the village of Tickton. It stands just to the east of the River Hull.

This hamlet was the ancestral home of the Jackson family, beginning with Richard (1505?–1555). His great-grandson, Sir Anthony Jackson II was a prominent courtier with both Charles I and Charles II, and is interred at the Temple Church of the Inner Temple in Middlesex.[1]

Eske Manor is a mid-17th-century house that is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
