Whitby Strand

[11] The wapentake and liberty were referred to as Monastic in some documents,[12] and the poll tax returns for 1379 list the settlements of the area as being within Whitby and Byland.[13][note 3] In the south of the wapentake, the boundary between Whitby Strand and Pickering Lythe was an ancient line known as Green Dike (or Greendike).[15][16] This boundary proceeded southerly from near to Ravenscar, with the Green Dike encompassing Suffield in the south, and the source of the River Derwent via the Lilla Cross through Littlebeck on the western side.Then towards the north-west through Egton, and then due northwards through East Row (called Thordisa in ancient times) and out to the sea.The section between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay was bordered by the North Sea (then known as the German Ocean).
