Hollym, East Riding of Yorkshire

Hollym is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) south of Withernsea and lies on the A1033 road. According to the 2011 UK census, the parish had a population of 513, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 447. The name Hollym probably derives from the plural form of either the Old English hol or the Old Norse holr meaning 'hollow'. Another suggestion is that the second element is derived from the Old English hām meaning 'village' or 'hamm' meaning 'hemmed-in land'. Hollym Airfield lies just north of the village and is suitable for light aircraft. The parish church of St Nicholas, built in 1814, is a Grade II listed building. In 1823, Hollym was a parish in the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. At that time the population was 260. Occupations included seventeen farmers, a corn miller, a schoolmaster, and the landlady of The Plough public house. A carrier operated weekly between the village and Hull. Hollym was served from 1854 to 1964 by Hollym Gate railway station on the Hull and Holderness Railway. Edmund Henry Barker, the English classical scholar, was born in the village.

Winestead

Winestead is a village in the civil parish of Patrington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately seven miles (eleven kilometres) south-east of Hedon and 1+1⁄2 miles (2.5 kilometres) north-west of Patrington. It is situated to the north of the A1033 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 153. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Patrington. The name Winestead possibly derives from the Old English wīfstede meaning 'women's place'. Another theory derives it from Wifastede or Wifestede, meaning 'Wifa/Wife's place'. It is also the ancient seat of the Hildyard/Hilliard/Hildegardis family, whose ancestry is believed to be of Saxon origin. The Hildyard family of Winestead became extinct on the death of Sir Robert D'Arcy Hildyard, Bart., who died without heirs in 1814. Hildyard bequeathed his estates to his niece, Ann Catherine Whyte, who married in the following year Thomas Blackborne Thoroton, Esq., of Flintham Hall, Flintham, Nottingham. Col. Thoroton of the Coldstream Guards subsequently assumed the name and coat-of-arms of Hildyard. His heirs, who still have the surname Hildyard, reside at Flintham Hall today. The Hildyard family lived at Winestead for 10 generations, and even after the death of the last Baronet, the heirs continued to own Winestead Hall. In 1823 inhabitants in the village numbered 129. Occupations included six farmers. The church of St Germain was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. The White Hall was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. Winestead was served from 1854 to 1964 by Winestead railway station on the Hull and Holderness Railway.
