Foggathorpe
[6] In 1892, Bulmer's History and Directory of East Yorkshire describes Foggathorpe as "a township containing 1,320 acres (5.3 km2) of land lying on the bank of the Foulness river".The village had a station (on the Selby and Market Weighton branch railway), and a Wesleyan chapel built in 1803 which was also used as a school for 41 children.Bulmer states that the village is called "Fulcathorpe" in the Domesday Book and that it was given by William I to his standard-bearer, Gilbert Tison.Soils of both the Foggathorpe 1 Association and the Foggathorpe 2 Association are described as slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged stoneless clayey and fine loamy over clayey soils; the poor drainage and seasonal waterlogging creates conditions conducive to rapid surface runoff.The nearest train service is now about ten minutes' drive away at Howden station, from which one can travel to London Kings Cross.
