The civil parish is formed by the villages of Bewholme and Dunnington and the hamlet of Nunkeeling. According to the 2011 UK census, Bewholme parish had a population of 232,[1] a slight increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 230.[2]
The name Bewholme possibly derives from the plural of the Old Norse bjúgr meaning 'river bend' or the Old English bēag meaning 'circle'.[3]
The village has a church, St John Baptist, built in 1900 by S. Walker of Bridlington,[4] and football field. The former vicarage was designed by William Burges, who also drew up an unexecuted design for the church.[5]
