A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of South Frodingham from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"FRODINGHAM (South), a township in Owthorne parish, [East Riding of Yorkshire] ; 2½ miles NNE of Patrington. Acres: 1,190. Real property: £1,631. Population: 59. Houses: 9. An old brick manor-house here is partly Tudor, and has a panelled room, with the arms of the Lysters in carved oak."

South Frodingham was originally a township in the ecclesiastical parish Owthorne in the Holderness Wapentake. It was made a civil parish in 1866 and in 1894 it joined the Patrington Rural District. In 1935 the rural district was abolished and South Frodingham was absorbed into the parish of Rimswell which was, at the same time, transferred to the Holderness Rural District.

North Frodingham is quite a few miles to the north, beyond Hornsea and inland. Frodingham is in Lincolnshire and to the west.

Holderness

This is an area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the east coast of England. An area of rich agricultural land, Holderness was marshland until it was drained in the Middle Ages. Topographically, Holderness has more in common with the Netherlands than other parts of Yorkshire. To the north and west are the Yorkshire Wolds. The Prime Meridian passes through Holderness just to the east of Patrington.

From 1974 to 1996 Holderness lay within the Borough of Holderness in the short-lived county of Humberside. Holderness was the name of an ancient administrative area called a wapentake until the 19th century, when its functions were replaced by other local government bodies, particularly after the 1888 Local Government Act and the 1894 Local Government Act. The city of Kingston upon Hull lies in the southwest corner of Holderness and the town of Bridlington borders the northeast, but both are usually considered to be outside Holderness. The main towns include Beverley, Withernsea, Hornsea and Hedon. The Holderness Coast stretches from Flamborough Head to Spurn Head.
