Tibthorpe is one of the smallest parishes in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The current population of the village is approximately 150 people. It is five miles to the west of Driffield on the edge of the Wolds, between the villages of Bainton to the south and Wetwang to the north. High Wood and Low Wood to the south are a haven for wildlife. The village has a long history stretching back to before the Domesday Book when it was known as Tibetorp. It is recorded that centuries ago monks from Watton Abbey pastured sheep around the village and could rest at a 'chapel of ease' located in the village.
The village is close to the junction of B1248. The village currently has no pub, school or church; there was once a Methodist Chapel, built in 1823, that was demolished some years ago, along with a number of 18th century cottages, during road construction.
In the past several small businesses flourished in the town, including a cobbler, a fishmonger, a milkman, a butcher and a fruiterer as well as a village store and blacksmith.
