Thwing (All Saints)
THWING (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Bridhngton, wapentake of Dickering, E. riding of York, 8 miles (W. N. W.) from Bridlington; containing, with the township of Octon, 452 inhabitants. The parish comprises about 3600 acres of land, chiefly arable: the village lies a short distance north of the road from Bridlington to Sledmere. The living is a rectory, in medieties, each valued in the king's books at £8. 12. 1.; net income, £500; patron, the Crown. The tithes were commuted for land and a money payment in 1769. A few years since, the church, a very ancient edifice, was repaired and beautified, and an east window of painted glass added, at the expense of Robert Prickett, Esq., lord of the manor, who also erected a tablet in it to the memory of Archbishop Lamplugh, a native of the parish. The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have places of worship.
