Cherry Burton is a village and

B1248 road.[4]

History

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Burtone, and belonging to the then Archbishop of York.[5] 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.[6] Due to its location, some 1.2 miles (2 km) north of Bishop Burton, the village was sometimes known as North Burton (or even rarer, as Sheriff Burton).[7][8]

Historically in the

Wapentake of Harthill, the village also came under the Beverley for its local district.[9][10] Until rapid housebuilding 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.[11]

The civil parish is formed by the village of Cherry Burton and the

2001 UK Census figure of 1,473.[12]

The village has a

OFSTED is good.[14]

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

Anglican church was also built in the village in 1852, which is now grade II listed.[15] It was built on the site of a previous undated church.[16]

The village is one of the few in the UK awarded

fairtrade and local produce. It gained this status on 22 July 2003 and was the second village to do so.[17][18] In 2011–2012, a flood alleviation scheme was implemented with funding from DEFRA. Like many other places in the East Riding of Yorkshire, Cherry Burton was subject to severe flooding in the 2007 floods.[19]

Cherry Burton was served by

York to Beverley Line between 1865 and 1959,[20] with the station remaining open for another five years for the inward and outward transportation of agricultural produce. The line closed completely in 1965.[21] In 2018, a new footpath from the village to the old railway line opened, which allowed the inhabitants of Cherry Burton to access the Hudson Way, a foot and cycle path built on the formation of the old railway line.[22] Previous to this, to access the path, villagers needed to negotiate the main road out of the village which had no footpaths and where traffic could travel at 60 miles per hour (97 km/h).[13]
