In 1823 North Frodingham was a town and civil parish in the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. Baines states that a town market was in disuse because of falling population, its charter having been transferred to the more successful town of Driffield in the 1860s. There were three chapels; one for Methodists, one for Independents, and one for Ranters. Population at the time was 575, including that of Emmotland. Occupations included twenty-two farmers, three blacksmiths, three grocers, one of whom was also a draper, three shoemakers, two tailors, two wheelwrights, two bricklayers, a weaver, a twine maker, a straw hat manufacturer, a plumber & glazier, a book keeper, a schoolmaster, and the landlords of The Red Line, The Star Inn, and The Gate public houses. Two carriers operated between the town and Driffield, and Beverley, once a week. Once a fortnight a further carrier linked North Frodingham by water to Hull. North Frodingham has one public house, the Blue Post Inn. There is a small park overlooking a social centre. The village is surrounded by fields and farms. There is a village store (The Post Office) and a carpet shop. The village has a bus stop, but the public transportation options in the area are limited, so most people travel by car.
