Place:North Cave with Everthorpe and Drewton, East Riding of Yorkshire, England

North Cave with Everthorpe and Drewton was a civil parish established in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England in 1866. It was located between 10 and 12 miles west of Kingston-upon-Hull and somewhat inland from the River Humber. The parish included three settlements: the village of North Cave, and the hamlets of Everthorpe and Drewton. When rural districts were established in 1894, it was located in Howden Rural District.

In 1935 a number of adjustments were made to civil parishes and rural districts throughout the East Riding. Among these was the break-up of North Cave with Everthorpe and Drewton. North Cave and Everthorpe continued as a civil parish (named simply North Cave) within Howden Rural District, but Drewton was transferred to the neighbouring civil parish of South Cave which was located in Beverley Rural District.

Historically, North Cave was an ecclesiastical parish in the wapentake of Harthill.

Humberside 1974-1996

In 1974 most of what had been the East Riding of Yorkshire was joined with the northern part of Lincolnshire to became a new English county named Humberside. The urban and rural districts of the former counties were abolished and Humberside was divided into non-metropolitan districts. The new organization did not meet with the pleasure of the local citizenry and Humberside was wound up in 1996. The area north of the River Humber was separated into two "unitary authorities"—Kingston upon Hull covering the former City of Hull and its closest environs, and the less urban section to the west and to the north which, once again, named itself the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The phrase "Yorkshire and the Humber" serves no purpose in WeRelate. It refers to one of a series of basically economic regions established in 1994 and abolished for most purposes in 2011. See the Wikipedia article entited "Regions of England").
