North Ferriby is a village and civil parish in the Haltemprice area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England."The archaeology of the intertidal wetlands of the Humber Estuary is of international importance, and includes prehistoric boats, trackways, fishtraps and platforms, Roman settlements and ports and Post-Medieval fishweirs.[3] In 1931, wooden planks belonging to an ancient boat were discovered by local man Ted Wright on the shore of the Humber.In addition, Bronze Age round barrows were found near North Ferriby by archaeologists excavating the land on which the A63 junction was built.[citation needed] The village was once significant for Ferriby Priory, c. 1160, of the order of knights templar, founded by Lord Eustace Broomfleet de Vesci,[4] in the reign of King John, anno 1200, as appears from an ancient manuscript formerly in the possession of the late Luke Lillingston, Esq.[10] A new club, North Ferriby F.C., was formed and play in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.With the backing of the Parish Council, the Twinning Association was formed in the spring of 2003 and links North Ferriby with Le Pellerin, a French village to the south of Brittany, on the estuary of France's longest river, the Loire.
