Warter is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Pocklington on the B1246 road and 18 miles (29 km) from the city of York. According to the 2011 UK census, Warter parish had a population of 144, a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 159. The name Warter probably derives from the Old English weargtrēow meaning 'the tree of the felon'. Alternatively, it may derive from wearrtrēow meaning 'callused tree'. It is the location for Warter Priory, which was an Augustinian Priory dedicated to St James founded in 1132 by Geoffrey Fitz-Pain. The chronicler Stephen Eyton was a canon there. It was dissolved in 1536 by the dissolution under King Henry VIII. The site of this priory is now a scheduled monument to the north of St James' Church. The dimensions of St James' Church, cloister, other buildings and the shape of their roofs were recorded along with details of the vestments and church plate. The church was 40 by 12 yards with a quire of 28 by 9 yards; the cloister 96 yards in circuit and 4 yards in breadth. The parish church of St James was designated a Grade II listed building in January 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. A coppice near the village was the inspiration for the landscape painting Bigger Trees Near Warter by David Hockney.

Nunburnholme Priory

Nunburnholme Priory was a priory of Benedictine nuns in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was founded during the reign of Henry II of England by an ancestor of Robert de Merlay, lord of Morpeth. Except for its demesne, it possessed only little property in its surroundings. In 1313 the prioress claimed the monastery of Seton in Coupland as a cell of Nunburnholme. In 1521 only five nuns and the prioress lived here, and on 11 August 1536 the house was suppressed. It was valued as the poorest and smallest of the Benedictine nunneries in Yorkshire surviving until then. The priory was northeast of the village of Nunburnholme, between Nun's Walk and Back Lane. The site of the priory is a Scheduled Monument, described as featuring "extensive earthworks ... across the whole of the site" and "a group of well preserved but now dry fishponds".

Bigger Trees Near Warter or ou Peinture en Plein Air pour l'age Post-Photographique is a large landscape painting by British artist David Hockney.

It was painted in the East Riding of Yorkshire between February and March 2007. The painting's alternative title alludes to the technique Hockney used to create the work, a combination of painting out of doors and in front of the subject (called in French 'sur le motif') whilst also using the techniques of digital photography.
