Boynton

According to the 2001 UK census, the parish had a population of 161.[1] However the 2011 census grouped the parish with Grindale (2001 pop. 98), giving a total of 229.[2] The parish church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed building.[3] It includes a 15th-century tower,[4] as well as memorials to the Strickland, later Cholmley, later Strickland-Constable Baronets, of Boynton (1641), whose seat was Boynton Hall, which is also Grade I listed.[5]

From the mediaeval era until the 19th century Boynton was part of Dickering Wapentake.[6] Between 1894 and 1974 Boynton was a part of the Bridlington Rural District, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.[7] Between 1974 and 1996 it was part of the Borough of North Wolds (later Borough of East Yorkshire), in the county of Humberside.

St Andrew's Church

[edit]

St Andrew's Church is remarkable for its profusion of turkeys - in the lectern, the windows, and the roof bosses. This is a tribute to William Strickland (d. 1598) who is said to have brought turkeys to Britain.
