Gransmoor is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting about six miles south-west of the seaside town of Bridlington and three miles south-east of the village of Burton Agnes.

In 1823 Gransmoor was notd as falling within the parish of Burton Agnes and the Dickering Wapentake. The population was 85, which included six farmers and a carrier who operated between the hamlet and Bridlington once weekly. By 1840 population was 93, again with six farmers. A chapel was built in 1839 by the owner of all 1,100 acres of the hamlet’s land.[1][2]
