POCKTHORPE is a hamlet in Nafferton parish, 3 ½ miles north-west-by-west from Nafferton railway station. Col. H. B. Harrison-Broadley M.P. is the principal landowner. There was originally a church in this hamlet serving as chapel of ease to Nafferton and mentioned in the chartulary of Meaux Abbey, Holderness. The hamlet consists of a farm of 727 acres, occupied by Mrs. Clara Clarkson, and about 50 acres of woodland; a portion of Pockthorpe Hall was pulled down in 1849, but the building has since been modernised and extended; in the hamlet is a place called “Danes’ Graves.”
