"TIBTHORPE township contains 2,885 acres of land lying along the eastern acclivity of the Wolds. The surface is generally elevated, and the soil of a lighter quality than that in the rest of the parish. The township is valued for rating purposes at £2,882, and had at the last enumeration 278 inhabitants. The Earl of Londesborough, who is also lord of the manor; Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart., D.L.; Mr. A. Botterill, Garton-on-the-Wolds; Mr. R. Harrison, Driffield; Simpson Staveley Esq., Tibthorpe; Mr. W. Harrison, Tibthorpe; D. Dent Esq., Rispin Mr. J. Loadman, Helmsley; and Mr. J.
