Boundaries
1997-2010: The East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley wards of Cherry Holme, Leconfield, Leven, Minster North, Minster South, Molescroft, St Mary’s East, St Mary’s West, Tickton, Walkington, and Woodmansey, and the Borough of Holderness.
2010–present: The District of East Riding of Yorkshire wards of Beverley Rural, Mid Holderness, Minster and Woodmansey, North Holderness, St Mary’s, South East Holderness, and South West Holderness.
The constituency covers the south-east of the East Riding of Yorkshire and borders with the East Yorkshire, Haltemprice and Howden, Kingston upon Hull North and Kingston upon Hull East constituencies. It also borders a stretch of the North Sea coast from Skipsea to Spurn Point, and the Humber estuary to Hedon.
For the 2010 general election minor boundary changes affect the constituency. The civil parish of Brandesburton was transferred to the East Yorkshire constituency and Woodmansey to the Haltemprice and Howden constituency.[dubious ] Middleton on the Wolds was gained from the East Yorkshire constituency and Newbald from the Haltemprice and Howden constituency.[3]
History
The constituency first sent members to Parliament regularly from 1563 as Beverley, but was disenfranchised in 1869. It was re-created for a short time between 1950 and 1955 and then again in 1983. In 1997 the constituency was renamed to the current form, Beverley and Holderness. Following the elections in 2005, a ballot box was stolen.
