North Cave is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated 12 miles to the west of Hull city centre on the B1230 road. South Cave is approximately 2 miles to the south east.
The civil parish is formed by the village of North Cave and the hamlet of Everthorpe. The 2001 UK census states that North Cave parish had a population of 1,943.[1]
The lordships of North and South Cave were given by William the Conqueror to Jordayne, who, after the custom of those times, took the surname of Cave. The Methams of Metham had a seat, which has since been demolished. Here, there is a church of the establishment, dedicated to All Saints, of which R. C. Burton, Esq. is patron, with a chapel for the Methodists and another for the Society of Friends.
North Cave has two public houses, a historic church, and a C of E primary school. Its Sports and Social Club hosts an annual Gala Day in June, Bonfire night in November and various other events throughout the year. It has a well equipped and safe play area for younger children. The village Hall hosts a play group for toddlers and events including the Christmas Pantomime performances (often not performed at Christmas). The village also boasts a popular newsagency, a post office, a florist and a bank branch with limited opening hours; many of the original shops have closed over the last twenty years in the face of competition from supermarkets.
The village and surrounding area magazine is 'the Village Link' (www.villagelink.info). It is produced by a small team of volunteers and distributed free. Also, the web site hosts Parish Council and Sports and Social Committee information.
North Cave Wetlands is a place of regional and national significance, containing a wide range of species and biodiversity. It attracts visitors from across the region.
In recent years, North Cave has seen a considerable increase in house prices which, as in many rural areas, threatens to displace residents of long-standing. However, the village retains a strong community feel for those that choose to become involved.
