- OK today it's time for something a little different. We are in the East Riding of Yorkshire yet again but this time we are on the Eastern side of the city of Hull. This is the first village we will have seen with a HULL postcode and it lies on the Holderness Coast, situated around 4 miles away from the coastal resort of Withernsea.
This is a tiny village which is popular with birdwatchers that frequent both Spurn Point and the nature reserve on the banks of the River Humber that can be found by travelling through it. A village of a modest size, there are some interesting things here aside from the saltmarsh like the 13th century St Mary's Church which has a very interesting tomb set into its wall and on the interiorl, a slab dedicated to two people who were related the Christopher and John Wright who were two of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot.
The parish also includes the very small hamlet/village of Weeton which is decorated with loads of old farm nachinery which is used as planters. It's really clear that the residents of both villages are very proud of them, and why wouldn't they be? This is a very very nice place which probably doesn't get a lot of recognition!
It does however receive a lot of traffic which is why at the Western end of the village you will find a set of traffic lights on a sharp bend to regulate commercial traffic servicing the Easington gas terminals. Overall this was a nice village to do. I even called into the Coach and Horses for a pint after I'd finished!
Very welcoming pretty and surrounded by lots of arable farmland this is the parish of WELWICK.

WELWICK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- The River Humber does come right up to the flood bank on high tides. Back in December 2013 part of the bank was washed away and water flooded most of the fields beyond it.
- The locals all refer to it as Well-ick, so I was indeed correct!
- Welwick has a heritage weekend and there is a gun powder plotters monument situated on the farm land of the Wright brothers as you come to the village from the West.
- Holderness is the only area of England to use cobble extensively as a building material.
- Inside the church, you will discover the Blessed Mary Ward, niece of the two Wright Gunpowder Plotters.
- Welwick also was the home of Mabel Brygge, executed for plotting to murder Henry VIII.
- The Wheatsheaf was also known as the Wheatsheaf and Plough, back in the old days!
- Down the little road at the side of the pub there used to be a slaughter house, which has been converted into a home now
- The church used to have a wooden spire but it rotted and was taken down.
- Welwick saltmarsh is one of the best places to watch the sunset as well as being a popular birdwatching location
- At the bottom of Humber Lane there is a little clearing with a large pile of dirt. Behind this is a pillbox with an ammunition rack still attached
Super duper Andy..
You are certainly full of knowledge..
Greetings from welwick! Fun fact,the church used to have a wooden spire but it rotted and was taken down, welwick saltmarsh is one of the best places to watch the sunset,birdwatch,mutch more.
My childhood village, thank you for showing this. I attended the village school, was Christened and attended Sunday school at St Mary's. We have a family grave (Wilde) in the Churchyard. My Granddad had the shop at the corner of Humber Lane, we lived in the small cottage next door but one. I played with the family who lived at the butchers shop , where my Uncle worked. A great Uncle lived in the cottage of Wheatsheaf pub which I guess is now part of the house. I have never been down Humber Lane in many years and was surprised to see the new houses, hardly recognisable as the lane which
we could safely wander down to the Humber Bank and played for what seemed like hours.
Thank you Jean, love these little stories :D
Your goat are most probably the wild deer they come up to where you stayed, the name of the village is welick
Great video Andy! I go to this village and other villages close to Withernsea every month for work and there’s some really great scenery around there. I’ve done a couple of videos before in the East Riding and they are my favourite areas that I’ve recorded
Thanks Jordan!
When you get to the bottom of humber lane there is a little clearing with i large pile of dirt,behind it there is a pilbox and amunition rack still attacked
Thanks Louisa!
If you had asked for more History I could have given it happily !! xx
There's always the East Riding round up video, you're welcome to give me anything you like :D
The river humber does come right up to the flood bank on high tides. Back in Dec 2013 part of the bank was washed away and water flooded most of the fields beyond it. I've lived in the village of welwick for 20 years and it's a great village with a lovely community.
It certainly seemed to be just that when I was there. First time I've set foot in the place, no issues with anything or anybody, all were friendly. I had a pint in the pub after I filmed this, they all seemed a friendly local lot
I use to live here, you passed two of my childhood homes down Humber Lane, when we was small the Nature Reserve was more mud flats, there was also a primary School until there wasn't enough kids to fill the classes - this was on the left as you enter North Lane - converted back to a home a good few years later I think, also down the little road at the side of the pub there use to be a slaughter house, I believe this has also been converted into a home now
Wel lick
Loads and loads of fab info, thank Karen :D
Cool video! Thats wonderfull! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for watching!
Wel wick as they're two separate words and l's are more pronounced due to danish influences. But I've always said Welwick not wellick. But great video as always
Never ever heard anyone call it Wel-wick. It is Wellick
It's welwick.
Thanks guys!
Wellick it shall be!
well Jan, i've lived in Patrington 25 years and the amount of people who stop me to ask the way to Well Wick far outnumbers the ones that ask for Welwick, especially Hull trades people.
I love it when you’re driving back from Easington and there it is, St Mary’s right in your face. Such an imposing building that takes your breath away. Holderness is a lovely part of the world with a lot of history, my family originated from Kilnsea with some in Easington, Welwick Sad that most of that family history is now under the sea.
