The village was written as "Adelingesfluet" in the Domesday Book. From this we know that the lord of the manor was Siward Barn before the Norman Conquest; later, in 1086, it was Geoffrey de la Guerche. It was part of the Goole Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974, and was then in the Boothferry district of Humberside until 1996.
At south is a raised platform for the remains of a rectory, dating from the mid-13th century. It is grade II* listed, and was constructed of ashlar and coursed rubble by John le Franceys, who was Adlingfleet's rector and also a king's counsellor. The remains, which have not had a roof since the 1970s, and the platform on which they stand, are a scheduled ancient monument, as there are thought to be the remains of other structures below the surface. West is the old vicarage, built by Tyson in 1796. Red-brick modifications were made in 1835–37 by Erskine Neal. The original structure is in yellow-brown brick. |
