Bessingby is a village now back in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England after a sojourn in the short-lived county of Humberside. It lies just southeast of the A614 road, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of Bridlington. The village (and its parish) forms part of Bridlington civil parish. For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Bessingby. Bessingby was originally an ancient parish in Dickering Wapentake in the East Riding of Yorkshire. In 1866 the status of civil parish was introduced and this was taken on by most ancient parishes and also by their subsidiary townships if they were of any size at all. In 1866 Bessingby, which had no townships, became a civil parish. In 1894 it became part of the Bridlington Rural District of the East Riding. In 1935 the parish was abolished and absorbed into Bridlington with a small area going to Carnaby. [edit] Research Tips
