Tibthorpe is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 2011 census recorded Tibthorpe's parish with a population of 157.
The village is five miles west of Driffield on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, it is beside the B1248 road between the villages of Bainton to the south and Wetwang to the north.
Nearby to the south are High Wood and Low Wood, which are a haven for wildlife.
The village has a long history stretching back to before the Domesday Book, in which it is recorded as Tibetorp. It is recorded that centuries ago monks from Watton Abbey pastured sheep around the village and could rest at a 'chapel of ease' located in the village.
The village has no pub, school or church. There was once a Methodist Chapel, built in 1823, that was demolished some years ago, along with a number of 18th century cottages, during road construction.
In the past several small businesses flourished in the village, including a cobbler, a fishmonger, a milkman, a butcher and a fruiterer as well as a village store and blacksmith.
