Place:Ravensrodd, East Riding of Yorkshire, England

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

"RAVENSPUR, Ravenser, or Ravensrode, a quondam seaport in [East Riding of] Yorkshire; near Spurn Head. It sent members to parliament in the time of Edward I.; suffered so much injury from the sea in 1346, that its merchants then removed to Hull; suffered renewed and very devastating injury from the sea in 1357; was, nevertheless, the landing-place of Henry IV. in 1399, and of Edward IV. in 1471; and about the latter time, or very soon afterwards, was entirely swept away by the sea."
