Kilnwick House

Kilnwick House is thought to have been developed on the site of a medieval farm that was under the control of the Gilbertine Canons of nearby Watton Priory. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries between 1536 and 1539, the estate was granted to Robert Holgate, who later became Archbishop of York. The house was vastly extended in the 18th century by Thomas Grimston, who had been bequeathed the property by Vice-Admiral Medley in 1747.

Kilnwick Bricks

A walled garden is over one metre thick and four metres high and was built entirely of bricks topped by coping flags. It encloses an area of more than half a hectare and has built into it, at its western end, a two-storey cottage. Brick also figures in the ha-ha that lies to the north of the C59 immediately west of the village, now forming a road ditch.

Prehistory

The clays that are the major constituent of Holderness, upon which Kilnwick is situated, are glacial in origin. Successive Pleistocene ice sheets swept south on a broad front from Northumbria, the Arctic Sea, and Scandinavia. The Devensian glaciation (circa 60,000 to 20,000 years before present) was responsible for building Holderness as it extends today.
