Kiplingcotes is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, three and a half miles north-east of the nearest market town, Market Weighton, and three miles west of Etton.[1]
The hamlet is recorded in the Domesday Book as Climbicote, having two ploughlands and belonging to the Archbishop of York.[2] The name was most often written as two words (Kipling Cotes, or Kipling Coates), and means 'The cottages of Cybbel's people'; Cybbel being an Old English personal name.[3] It was originally part of the parish of Middleton on the Wolds, in the wapentake of Harthill.[4]
Kiplingcotes is the location for the annual Kiplingcotes Derby horse race. The 500th race took place on 21 March 2019.[5]
The hamlet was served by Kiplingcotes railway station on the York to Beverley Line between 1865 and 1965.[6]
In 1823 Kiplingcotes (then alternatively Kipling Coates House), a farmer was listed as the only inhabitant.[7]
Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve, to the west of the hamlet is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.[8]
