CAVE, NORTH & SOUTH, NEWPORT-WALLINGFEN, WELTON & NEIGHBOURHOODS, North Cave is a village and township, in the parish of its name, in the Hunsley-Beacon division of Harthill wapentake, East Riding, 186 miles from London, 12 s.e. from Beverley, 10 e.by n. from Howden, and about 7 s. from Market Weighton. It is a place destitute of manufactures, or interest to the man of business; but its vicinage is the residence of many families of opulence and respectability. The places of worship in the parish are the church, and chapels for primitive and Wesleyan methodists, and the society of friends. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the patronage of Henry Peters Burton, Esq. MP. The parish contained, by the returns for 1831, 1,000 inhabitants, and the township 747 of that number. South Cave is a small market-town and township, in the parish of its name, in the same division and wapentake as North Cave, 2 miles s.e. from that village; situated near to the western extremity of the Wolds, and surrounded by an exceedingly pleasant country; the eminences affording many delightful views of Lincolnshire, and the Humber, which river bounds the parish for about three miles. In the vicinity of the town is Cave Castle, a large and splendid structure, embattled and surmounted by numerous turrets: the interior corresponds in magnificence, and is enriched with a valuable collection of paintings by the first artists; amongst these is to be noticed a fine portrait of the celebrated American general, Washington, whose ancestors possessed a portion of the estate, and resided here previous to their emigration to America, in the middle of the seventeenth century. The principal trade of Cave is in corn, considerable quantities of which are purchased on the market-day, and shipped on the Humber for many of the towns in the West Riding. The back cargoes consist of free-stone, lime, flags, and coal, together with commodities for domestic use and consumption. The places of worship are a neat church, dedicated to All Saints, and three chapels for methodists. The living of South Cave is a discharged vicarage, in the patronage of ---- Barnard, Esq. who is lord of the manor, and holds a manorial court in October, when a constable is appointed. A national school, in which about fifty children are instructed, is chiefly supported by subscriptions, assisted by a small endowment. The market is held on Monday; and the fairs on the 21st of October & Trinity Monday, for cattle. The parish of South Cave contained, at the last census, 1,200 inhabitants, and the township 833 of that number. Newport- Wallingfen, or New Village, and by some known by the appellation of River-bridge, is a village and township, in the parish of Eastrington, in the same division and riding as South Cave, about 5 miles w. by s. from that town. Somewhat more than half a century ago, this was an uncultivated morass, called Walling-fen; but a bed of clay, of very superior quality and great purity having been discovered, and which is dug thirty feet in depth from the surface, the place has become noted for the manufacture of bricks, tiles, and coarse earthenware to a very great extent; whereby the value of the land has amazingly increased, and a flourishing village called into existence. A place of worship for Wesleyan methodists, connected with which is a large Sunday school, are in the village. The township contained, at the last census, 367 persons. Welton is a township and village, in the parish of its name, and wapentake of Howdenshire, East Riding, 3.5 miles s.e. from South Cave. The church here, which is dedicated to St. Helen, is supposed to have been erected by William Rufus: the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of the Crown. The Wesleyan methodists have a chapel in the village. The parish contained, at the last census, 805 inhabitants, and the township 672 of that number.
