Parish History
A Topographical Dictionary of England 1848
ROUTH (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Beverley, N. division of the wapentake of Holderness, E. riding of York, 4¼ miles (N. E. by E.) from Beverley; containing 178 inhabitants.
The parish is on the road from Beverley to Bridlington, and comprises about 3000 acres of land, the property of the Misses Ellerker, of which two-thirds are arable, and one-third meadow and pasture. The surface is a complete level, and the soil near the village is strong, inclining to clay; the land has been well drained. Carr Moss, here, abounds with antediluvian trees of immense size, principally oak, in a perfectly black state; the wood is used for gate posts, rails, paling, and other purposes. The river Hull is within a mile of the parish.
The living is a rectory, valued in the king’s books at £8. 17. 1., and in the patronage of the Misses Ellerker; net income, £470. The church was greatly altered in 1835; in the chancel are a mutilated effigy of a crusader, and a fine brass of a knight and lady. The parsonage-house is a neat building, surrounded with plantations.
There is a Sunday school.
