Tickton – Heritage and Nature

This makes it possible to link your choice of hotel with the question of which aspects of the destination matter to you. Topics range from architectural history to practical conditions for a walk or access to a nature reserve.

Hotel and Local History

Tickton Grange is now used as a hotel and is a Grade II listed building. Its origins date to the early to mid-18th century. If you also take a place’s historic character into account when choosing a hotel, Tickton Grange offers a specific point of reference. Its present-day use and older architectural history provide two different perspectives on the same building.

Heritage in Eske

Eske Manor is a Grade II* listed building in the parish of Tickton. The house dates from the mid-17th century and is built of red brick with a tiled roof. Its date, building material and roof form give the building a clearly defined architectural profile. A closer look at Eske Manor raises two distinct questions: when was the house built, and how is it classified under heritage protection?

The medieval settlement of Eske offers a distinct archaeological perspective. It is well preserved and is a good example of a medieval settlement with its associated field system. Its earthworks include at least five hollow ways, house platforms and cultivation in the form of ridge-and-furrow fields. The combination of hollow ways, house platforms and fields traces different parts of a settlement: routes, residential areas and land used for farming. This perspective therefore differs from the architectural history of Eske Manor, which focuses on a single house and its architecture.

Circular Walk and Landscape

The “A Riverside Walk” circular route is relatively flat and includes a mix of stiles and gates. Surfaces can be boggy in wet weather. These details relate to different aspects of the route: its relatively flat profile does not also describe the ground conditions when wet, and the stiles and gates are also part of the route’s character. When planning to include the circular walk in your stay, take account of both these route features and the possible effects of the weather.

Pulfin Bog and Access

Pulfin Bog Nature Reserve is a spring-fed remnant of extensive wetlands, bordered by the River Hull on three sides. Visitors can access only the north-eastern area, via two kissing gates after a 1.5-mile walk. Access depends on high water levels and seasonal conditions. Plan to visit only the north-eastern area and take these conditions into account before your visit. This allows you to consider the distinctive wetland character alongside the specific limits on access.

Church and Amenities in Tickton

St Paul's in Tickton is a daughter church of Beverley Minster and was built in 1846. It is used for most regular services; service arrangements may change. Tickton also has two churches, two pubs, a primary school and a village shop with a post office. These amenities complement the cultural and natural themes with an overview of the local area. Individual businesses and amenities may change.
