Description

All Saints' Church

Thwing is located in the Yorkshire Wolds in the civil parish of Thwing and Octon about 8 miles (13 km) west of the North Sea coast at Bridlington.[1]

The village has a 12th-century Norman Church (All Saints),[2] and a pub known as The Falling Stone,[3] previously The Rampant Horse, before 1976 the Raincliffe Arms.[4][5]

The Falling Stone pub name is a reference to the Wold Cottage Meteorite, which fell nearby on 13 December 1795. A monument to its fall can be visited.

The church, as well as the post office (1830s) and 'Pear Tree farmhouse' (late 18th century) are listed buildings.[2][6][7]

Thwing is thought to mean 'narrow strip of land', deriving from thvengr (Old Scandinavian) or thweng (Old English).[8] The village is recorded in Domesday Book (1086) as Tuennc, in the hundred of Burton.[8][9]

The church of All Saints dates from the 12th century.[2] A market and fair began in Thwing in 1257.[10]

A Wesleyan chapel was established in Thwing in the early 1800s. It was built around 1810, and rebuilt and enlarged around 1839.[11][12]

From the 1850s to the start of the 21st century the extent of building development in the village was practically unchanged.[1][13]
