of Holderness, 8 miles S. E. from Pa-
trington; inhabitants, 196; a vicarage,
value 6/. 18s.6§tf.; patron, G.L. Thomp-
son, Esq. The church in this village, is
in a dilapidated state, and will probably
soon become a prey to the depreda-
tions of the ocean, which for several
ages has been making progressive en-
croachment on this coast. In the year
1818, an ancient cross was taken down
and removed into the park at Burton

Constable for security: this edifice,
according to tradition, was originally
erected in the town of Ravenspur, to
commemorate the landing of Henry of
Bolingbroke. In this parish, is the
well-known promontory of Spurnhead,
the Ocellum Promontorium of Ptolemy,
the southernmost point of Holderness :
it may be called an island, as it is
joined to the main land by a narrow
neck of sand, about a mile and half in
length, which is frequently overflown
by a high tide. Spurnhead contains
two light-houses and a few cottages; it
is also a station for a life-boat: some-
where near Spurnhead, was the port of
Ravenspur, celebrated in English his-
tory, for the descents of Henry IV.,
1399, and of Edward IV., 1471, when
these princes came to contend for the
crown of England. Ravenspur has been
long swallowed up by the sea or the
Humber, and its precise situation can-
not now be ascertained. Several other
towns and villages in this part of Hol-
derness have experienced the same fate.
Mention is made of Frismerk, Tharle-
thorpe, Redmayr, Pennysmerk, Upsal,
and Potterfleet, of which places, more
unfortunate than even old Troy, not a
vestige remains to point out that they
ever had an existence.
