The village of North Burton, distant three miles from Hunmanby, is pleasantly situated on the banks of the Gipsey Race one of those intermittent streams peculiar to the Wolds: they flow at certain periods, particularly after long rains, when they issue from the unbroken ground, sometimes so copiously as to inundate the adjacent country; at other times they are perfectly dry, except where drainage water collects in some stagnant pool. Their name Gipsey, in which " g" has the hard sound as in give, is supposed to be derived from the Norse word.
