South Cave

The civil parish is formed by the village of South Cave, the hamlet of Drewton and part of the hamlet of Riplingham. According to the 2011 UK census, South Cave parish had a population of 4,823,^[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 4,515.^[3]

At present, the population stands at around 4,500 with the town's over-subscribed school, the South Cave C of E Primary School, having a roll of over 440 pupils. In the town, there is one place of worship, All Saints Church,^[4] and was designated in 1968 by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.^[5] The Methodist Church and the United Reform Church have both closed in recent years, the Methodist Church has merged with All Saints Church; other amenities include a doctor’s surgery, dental practice, mobile optician, chemist, post office, library, HSBC branch, two public houses, the Bear Inn and the Fox & Coney, and several shops, including a Costcutter supermarket.

Cave Castle, built in 1787 by Henry Barnard, is a mansion house of gothic design, situated centrally in the town. Today, it operates as a hotel, with gym facilities, and its accompanying grounds form the local golf club.

In the late 1960s and 1970s the village was the home to the 'Hunsley Beacon' Orchestra, a symphony orchestra, founded by Frederick Applewhite, a professional violinist, teacher and musician, who was resident in the village. Many villagers, including the local undertaker, headmaster of the village school and the organist of All Saints as well as players from around the East Riding were members. Concerts were given in halls and other venues around the Riding including a memorable performance of Rachmaninov's 2nd symphony in Howden Minster and a performance of Beethoven's 'Pastoral' symphony on a band-stand in a Hull park!

The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail, a long distance footpath passes to the east end of the town.

South Cave was served by South Cave railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1885 and 1955.^[6]

Sport

The town has its own football club, South Cave Sporting Club, created from two previous clubs, South Cave United AFC and South Cave Juniors Football Club. The club is affiliated to the East Riding County FA, and has teams of all ages (both male and female) in the East Riding County League which sits at level 14 of the English football league system, the Hull Boys Sunday League, the East Riding Girls Football League, the East Riding Women's League and the Hull & District Veterans League.
