Barmston is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It stands on the Holderness coast, overlooking the North Sea and to the east of the A165 road. Barmston is approximately six miles south of Bridlington town centre. The parish includes the village of Fraisthorpe, the former villages of Auburn and Hartburn have been abandoned due to coastal erosion.
Barmston is listed in the Domesday Book as having eight ploughlands and belonging to Drogo of la Beuvrière.[1] The name of the village derives from Beorn's Tun (Beorn's Village).[2] The 2011 census recorded Barmston and Fraisthorpe together as having a population of 275.
About the village
The parish church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building.[3] Barmston’s one public house is the ‘’Black Bull’’.
The Old Hall is a Grade II* listed building.[4]
A key industry in the village is tourism and there is a caravan park located on former agricultural land near the beach. The cliffs are made of soft marl clay and are subject to erosion. Numerous properties have been demolished over the years to prevent them from falling into the sea.[5] The position of a road leading down to the beach (long since lost to the sea) is clearly visible. The road still exists to the clifftop, which is blocked off by a barrier, and the rocks that supported the slope are still visible at low tide, giving an indication of how far the cliff has eroded. The coast road was completely lost to the sea by 1996.[6] Barmston is one of the worst locations on the coast for coastal erosion: in 1967, twenty feet of coastline was lost over just two days due to storms in October.[7] The rate of erosion varies from year to year and is down to the tides and which way the winds are blowing, but typically the amount is between 4.0 feet (1.2 m) and 8.2 feet (2.5 m) per year.[8][9]
Barmston is the proposed landfall site for a carbon capture and storage scheme linking the proposed Don Valley Power Project at Stainforth, near Hatfield, in the West Riding and the White Rose CCS project at Drax Power Station with porous rock beneath the North Sea.[10][11][12][13]
The parish is almost completely low lying agricultural land with several farmsteads; excluding the Holderness coast and the two villages of Barmston and Fraisthorpe. The A165 Bridlington Road passes through the parish.
History
The village of Barmston gave its name to the ancient parish of Barmston.[14] The parish was bounded by watercourses of Earl's Dike (also known as Watermill Grounds Beck) to the north, and Barmston drain to the south.
The village of Hartburn on the Holderness coast was deserted after the 15th century and no longer exists due to coastal erosion.[15] The village was located just south of the outflow of Earl's Dike on the coastline.[16]
The hamlet of Winkton in the parish of Barmston had also been long abandoned by the 1850s.[17]
The village of Auburn in the former parish of Fraisthorpe was abandoned to coastal erosion, except for a farm;[18] the chapel was dismantled in the 1780s.[19]
