Scorborough is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the A164 road, about north of Beverley and south of Driffield. It forms part of the civil parish of Leconfield. The church of St Leonard is designated a Grade I listed building and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. Scorborough had civil parish status within Beverley Rural District from 1894 until 1935. It was an ecclesiastical parish in the Harthill Wapentake and part of the Beverley Registration District (1837-1930). [edit] Humberside 1974-1996In 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.
