St Nicholas' Church is the parish church of Holmpton, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Holmpton in the mediaeval period. It had a nave with north aisle and chancel, cobble walls and a pantile roof. The north aisle was demolished at some time, then in 1832 a brick tower was constructed. The church was heavily altered between 1874 and 1875, to a design by R. Beevers. He rebuilt the tower, encased the nave and chancel in brick, replaced the windows, and added a vestry. The building was grade II listed in 1987. The church is built of cobbles encased in yellow brick, with dressings in red brick and stone, and a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has four stages, and contains a west door with a chamfered pointed arch and a hood mould, above which are lancet windows, some blind, lancet bell openings, a west clock face, and a coped embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The windows on the body of the church are also lancets. Inside, there is a reredos in the Gothick style, dating from 1895; stained glass by William Wailes; and monuments dating from 1767 and 1820.

Welwick

Welwick is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the town of Withernsea and 2 miles (3.2 km) south-east of the village of Patrington on the B1445 road from Patrington to Easington. The civil parish is formed by the village of Welwick and the hamlet of Weeton. According to the 2011 UK census, Welwick parish had a population of 297, a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 307. In 1823 Welwick inhabitants numbered 410, including the settlements of Thorpe Plewland and Weeton. Occupations included eleven farmers, three shoemakers, two blacksmiths, two wheelwrights, a corn miller, a butcher, a tailor, a grocer who was also a draper, and the landlady of the Wheat Sheaf public house. There existed a Quaker Meeting House and a Methodist chapel. Baines' History, Directory & Gazetteer of the County of York mentions an ancient and "grand" monument within St Mary's Church supposedly removed from Burstall Abbey, and perhaps a memorial to either John de Fortibus or William le Gros, Earl of Albemarle. Welwickthorpe, in the parish of Welwick lay between the village and Patrington. The parish church of St Mary is a Grade I listed building. A sand and gravel pit was established in the south-west of the parish in the 1930s, located parallel and south of Pant Drain, the site's development was driven by the 1930s building boom. The extracted material, which lay less than 1 foot below the ground, was washed and grade separated on site by a rotary screen. By 1938 a rail tramway had been built to transport the excavated material to the main road – the line ran southwards from the midpoint of the B1445 between Welwick and Patrington, passing west of Haverfield House, to Oxlands Hill, and used a diesel shunting locomotive capable of hauling 120 tons; the material was transported in short wheelbase side tipping wagons.
