Geocache Description:


All Saints Church Barmston

The architectural evidence suggests that Barmston church was built in the earlier 12th century. Barmston parish included 548 a. in Ulrome township, most of which lay in the ecclesiastical parish of Skipsea. In 1929 the curacy of Fraisthorpe chapel, then combined with Carnaby vicarage, was united instead with Barmston rectory; the parishes remained distinct until 1979, however, when they were united as the new parish of Barmston with Fraisthorpe. Also in 1979 the benefice of Barmston with Fraisthorpe was united with that of Skipsea with Ulrome.

Possibly soon after it was built, Barmston church was given by Alan de Monceaux to Whitby abbey; his grant was confirmed c. 1170. The details of the patronage are unknown before 1287, when the abbot of Whitby and Sir Ingram de Monceaux were disputing the right of presentation. Monceaux's claim evidently succeeded, the Crown presenting during the minority of John de Monceaux in 1292 and 1295, and in the early 14th century Dame (Emma) de Monceaux, widow of Sir Ingram (d. 1292), holding the advowson as part of her dower. The patronage remained with the Monceaux family until the mid 15th century, and then passed successively, with the manor, to their heirs, the de la Sees and the Boyntons. At the union of Barmston with Fraisthorpe and Skipsea with Ulrome in 1979, the right of presentation was given jointly to the Wickham-Boynton family and the former patrons of Skipsea and Ulrome, the archbishop of York and Dr. Winifred Kane. The Hon. Susan Cunliffe-Lister later succeeded to the Wickham-Boynton interest. (Credit & Barmston History https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol7/pp213-223)
