East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes
YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes WASSAND HALL Report by David and Susan Neave April 2013 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Wassand Hall 1.2 Grid reference: TA 173461 1.3 Administrative area: Seaton Civil Parish, East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not registered 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Modest Georgian landscaped park incorporating a large picturesque natural lake, Hornsea Mere. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE 3.1 Estate owners The manor of Wassand was purchased by Joan widow of Sir William Constable of Caythorpe and her son Marmaduke in 1529, and thereafter it descended in the Constable, later Strickland-Constable, family. Following the death of Lady (Ernestine) Strickland-Constable, widow of Sir Henry Marmaduke Strickland- Constable, in 1995 the estate was left to trustees including her great-nephew, Rupert Russell. (Kent, VCH Yorks ER VII, 367) The owners chiefly responsible for the landscaping were: Marmaduke Constable, owner 1731-62 Revd Charles Constable, owner 1812-52 3.2 Early history of the site The Constables built a manor house at Wassand in the early 17th century. A small park was created south of the manor house by enclosing former open-field land. (Kent, VCH Yorks ER VII, 367-8) The extent of this early park can be seen on a 1 plan of 1809, a few years before Wassand Hall was built and the old manor house pulled down (see plan, below). Popham suggests that a certain amount of planting must have taken placed by c. 1700. (Popham, ‘Wassand Estate’, v. -

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification One of the youngest natural coastlines of England is the Holderness Coast, a 61 km long stretch of low glacial drift cliffs 3m to 35m in height. The Holderness coast stretches from Flamborough Head in the north to Spurn Head in the south. The Holderness coast mainly exists of soft glacial drift cliffs, which have been cut back up to 200 m in the last century. On the softer sediment, the crumbling cliffs are fronted by beach-mantled abrasion ramps that decline gradually to a smoothed sea floor. The Holderness coast is a macro-tidal coast, according to the scoping study the classification of the coast is: 2. Soft rock coasts High and low glacial sea cliffs 1.1.2 Geology About a million years ago the Yorkshire coastline was a line of chalk cliffs almost 32 km west of where it now is. During the Pleistocene Ice Age (18,000 years ago) deposits of glacial till (soft boulder clay) were built up against these cliffs to form the new coastline. The boulder clay consists of about 72% mud, 27% sand and 1% boulders and large Fig. -
