The priory was built around 1219 and continuing as an inhabited religious house until the Dissolution of the Monasteries between 1536 and 1541. Burstall Bank and Burstall Lane are still in existence near the north bank of the Humber Estuary, south of Skeffling, but Birstall Priory itself has long since been given up to the sea.

Winestead Drain
Winestead Drain is a small river in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The river flows south from Withernsea, around Patrington, before turning eastwards towards the Humber Estuary. The river was noted for being an inland waterway bringing shipping to the lower Humber reaches, though the river is now not navigable.
Historically the river emptied into the North Channel of the Humber just south of Patrington Haven. However, due to human intervention for drainage and flood prevention, the North Channel was cut off at the western end, and the installation of a sluice gate stopped the natural scouring of the channel by incoming and outgoing tides. This allowed the river to silt up making it unusable for watercraft.
