KEYINGHAM, a village and a parish in Patrington district, E. R. Yorkshire. The village stands on an eminence adjoining the Keyingham Level Drain and the Hull and Holderness railway, 5 miles ESE of Hedon; commands an extensive view of the Humber; and has a station on the railway, a post office under Hull, and remains of two ancient crosses.
The parish contains also Salthaugh Grange, and comprises 1,890 acres. Real property, £6, 871. Pop. in 1851, 746; in 1861, 639. Houses, 150. The property is subdivided. The land is chiefly marshy clay. Keyingham Level Drain goes 5½ miles south-south-westward to the Humber at the W side of Sunk island. Keyingham Creek formerly penetrated in the line of the drain, from the Humber to Salthaugh; but is now nearly closed.
The grounds belong to S. J. Owst, Esq.; contain the old font from Winestead, in which A. Marvel was baptized, and the shaft of Ottringham cross; and the house itself contains a collection of antiquities and paintings. A spring in the parish, called St. Philip’s well, was formerly reputed as holy, and noted for the cure of scorbutic complaints; and a spring of warm water is on a neighbouring farm. Bricks are made.
The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of York. Value, £300. Patron, the Archbishop of York. The church is ancient; has a tower, with octagonal spire; and contains an iron hour glass stand, and several monumental tablets. There are chapels for Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists, and a national school.
