Fraisthorpe is a village by the sea in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about four miels south of Bridlington town centre, to the east of the A165 road.
Up to 2009, Fraisthorpe beach was used to hold a yearly Elim Pentecostal Church youth and family camp.[1]
Parish church
The village has a chapel, of Church of England, dedicated to St Edmund the Martyr. It is a Grade II listed building.[2]
Originally built in the 13th century, the chapel was remodelled in 1893 by Smith and Brodrick. The chancel and nave are unified, and constructed of rubble and cobble. Remaining from the 1893 rebuild are the four-foot high remains of a 13th-century pier in the south wall, which Pevsner asserted might be evidence of a former south aisle.[3]
History
In 1823 Fraisthorpe was noted as "Fraysthorpe". It was in the parish of Carnaby and the Dickering Wapentake. Occupations at the time included two farmers.[4]
In 1891 the parish had a population of 95.[5]
