BISHOP WILTON: East Riding of Yorkshire Parish

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE PARISH #108: BISHOP WILTON
Welcome Bishop Wilton, described on the website of its local shop as “an extraordinary village and one of Yorkshire’s best kept secrets”. Nestled beneath Bishop Wilton Wold, that same website goes on to say the village is not only beautiful but much of its real appeal rests on its sense of community. That’s the reason many people move here. After walking around this one we couldn’t disagree with any of that!
A secret is certainly right. No matter which way you enter Bishop Wilton, the village as an entity is not highly visible. The most impressive approach is from the east, as the whole village opens up dramatically as you descend the Wolds. It’s a beautiful village, and its centre with its long green bisected by Bishop Wilton Beck, has been a conservation area since the 1970s.
The name Bishop Wilton is a mixture of two elements. Firstly, the Bishop part is thanks to a huge set of earthworks, whilst the Wilton part can be attributed to a Saxon saint - St Edith. Its got an old watermill, two old chapels, a pub called The Fleece Inn and a village hall with a sports area. It also contains the greater part of a WWII airfield.
Theoretically, this is a place lots of people should know, not just for its history but also for its main attraction. Since 1897, Bishop Wilton has held an annual event every July. Named the Bishop Wilton Show, almost 2,000 people now attend it every year.
Lots here then, let’s check it all out!
