Grimston is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Holderness, six miles north-west of Withernsea town centre.
The village sits near the North Sea coast, to the east of the B1242 road. To the north, on the coast, is an ancient moated site, dating from the 12th to 14th centuries, formerly the site of a fortified mediæval manor house. It was the seat of the Grimston family until a fire in the mid-17th century.[1]
The family then built a new manor house at Grimston Garth in 18th-century Gothic style. Grimston Garth lies south of the hamlet on a private road. The stable block at Grimston Garth is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
