Cherry Burton is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is approximately north-west of the market town of Beverley, east of Market Weighton and south west of Driffield. The village lies on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and lies to the west of the B1248 road. History The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Burtone, and belonging to the then Archbishop of York. The name derives from a combination of Old and Middle English; Burh-tūn and Chiri, which means a fort enclosure; a farm with a palisade and a cherry tree. Due to its location, some north of Bishop Burton, the village was sometimes known as North Burton (or even rarer, as Sheriff Burton). Historically in the Wapentake of Harthill, the village also came under the Beverley for its local district. Until rapid house-building in the 1960s and 1970s, the village mostly consisted of one long main street as laid down in the 18th and 19th centuries with farmhouses. The civil parish is formed by the village of Cherry Burton and the hamlets of Gardham and High Gardham. According to the 2011 UK Census, Cherry Burton parish had a population of 1,392, a reduction on the 2001 UK Census figure of 1,473. The village has a Costcutter shop which also acts as a post office and a village hall which holds live musical events and hosts an annual local pantomime. The village pub, The Bay Horse, holds events each week. The village has a primary school which has ties with the local church. Its rating by OFSTED is good. Sports in the village include cricket, football, tennis, and rounders. Clubs for cricket and football have junior sections. Just outside of the village is a golf course and leisure park currently under development. A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1824, followed by a Primitive Wesleyan Methodist chapel in 1851; both have ceased being used for worship with the Wesleyan chapel now being the village hall. An Anglican church was also built in the village in 1852, which is now grade II listed. It was built on the site of a previous undated church. The village is one of the few in the UK awarded Fairtrade Village status for promoting fairtrade and local produce. It gained this status on 22 July 2003 and was the second village to do so. In
