History

Nunkeeling is noted in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Keeling (spelled Chilinghr[4]) in Holderness Wapentake.[5] The listed lord of the manor, Drogo de la Beuvrière, fled England in 1087 following the death of his wife. So William the Conqueror granted the manor to his sister Adelaide as part of the Lordship of Holderness, and her husband Odo became Earl of Holderness by right of his wife.

The -ing suffix was used in

Anglicised
as Keel.

The name of the hamlet changed from Keeling to Nunkeeling

Benedictine
nuns. Eventually the priory owned most of the surrounding land but declined into poverty.

In 1823 Nunkeeling was a civil parish in the

Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. Lord of the manor in 1823 was Harrington Hudson of Bessingby. Population at the time, which included Bewholme, was 243, with occupations including four farmers. A private asylum existed in the village.[8]
