Features of interest

• South Cave is not a village but a town. Edward I granted a charter in 1291 which gave people the right to hold a market every Monday. Locals also had permission to hold a four-day fair to buy and sell sheep and horses. Other charters were granted in the 14th and 15th centuries and by the late 18th century, as a result of agricultural improvements, South Cave was a thriving corn market. A market hall was built in 1796 and its first floor was used as a school room. The coming of the railways in the 1840s gave easier access to larger markets and the corn trade at South Cave diminished, becoming obsolete by 1867.
• Ellerker is a small unspoilt village situated round a large village green.
• Brantingham is an attractive "estate" village with many fine houses. Note the war memorial, which was built out of stones from the old Hull Town Hall. The village church of "All Saints" is not in the centre of the village but stands along the wooded and popular Brantingham Dale. The background of tree-lined hills and the foreground of a quaint country cottage must surely make it one of the most photographed parts of East Yorkshire.
