| East Cottingwith Parish Enclosure 1774 |
|
This map has been created by John Nottingham to depict the subdivision of the outlying lands in the parish of East Cottingwith as allotted by the 1774 enclosure act, plus the various 'Close' (field) allotment owners listed in the table. An associated map for the inner village properties and landowners has also been produced.

On this East Cottingwith parish map, the solid yellow line depicts the parish boundary, although this has been modified on several occasions from 1774 to 1935. The line on the western boundary shows the position as at 1774, running approximately down the River Derwent, but allowing for the mud banks alongside the river. On the northern side, the parish boundary was adjusted shortly after the Pocklington Canal was opened in this area in 1816. The boundary line then ran parallel to and immediately to the north of the canal as far as the point where the canal turned north into the hamlet of Storwood (then part of Melbourne parish). On the eastern boundary, the line depicts the position prior to 1935 when, in that year, East Cottingwith and the adjacent hamlet of Storwood (Storthwaite) were combined to form the present civil parish of Cottingwith, and the parish boundary modified accordingly. |
