Halsham is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Withernsea town centre and it lies south of the B1362 road.
According to the 2011 UK census, Halsham parish had a population of 255,[1] a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 260.[2]
The name Halsham derives from the Old English halshām meaning 'village on a neck of land'.[3]
The parish church of All Saints was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[4] To the east of the church is a Mausoleum of the Constable family which is designated as a Grade II* listed building.[5] Halsham House, a former school, dates to the late 16th century.
HMS Halsham, a Ham class of inshore minesweeper, was named after the village.
In 1823 inhabitants in the village numbered 315. Occupations included sixteen farmers, three wheelwrights, a bricklayer, a grocer, a blacksmith, and the landlord of the Sun public house. A carrier operated between the village and Hull on Tuesdays. The village was described as consisting of "chiefly a number of respectable farm houses, scattered at irregular distances from each other". The Constable family mausoleum is described as of stone, with polished white marble facing, with, at its centre, a monument to Sir William Constable (Historic England credits it to Sir Edward; Pevsner to Sir William), built at a cost of £10,000. Sir John Constable of Kirby Knowle in 1584 left 80/- (shillings) per year from his estate to be paid out in perpetuity: 20/- for the education of eight poor children with a further 24/- for their satchels and books; 32/- for eight poor men; and 4/- for two poor women. He provided for a hospital for the use of the poor men and women of the parish.[6]
