The civil parish is formed by the village of North Frodingham and the hamlets of Church End and Emmotland. According to the 2011 UK census, North Frodingham parish had a population of 830,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 712.[2]

The Grade II* listed church of St Elgin, North Frodingham was restored in stages between 1877 and 1891 by Sir Tatton Sykes, 5th Baronet with the top part of the perpendicular tower being designed by Temple Moor in 1892.[3] It is on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Churches Group.[4]

In 1901, there was a proposal to construct a railway terminus as part of the North Holderness Light Railway, but despite appearing on the North Eastern Railway's tile maps at various stations (including Beverley), the line was never constructed.[5] The Old Howe and North Frodingham beck join to the west of the village. The landing was used until the 1950s for unloading coal transported from Kingston upon Hull.

North Frodingham has one pub, the Blue Post Inn. The village has a small park overlooking the social centre. There are lots of fields and farms surrounding the village.

There is a village store (The Post Office) and a carpet shop. There are not many types of transport, with only a bus stop or by car.
