Flower Delivery to Bielby with Clare Florist

Bielby, a village in the county of East Riding of Yorkshire, is in the northeast of England, in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. It is located south of the city of Pocklington.

Bielby’s name comes from both the Slavonic and Danish languages. The first syllable is Slavonic, meaning ‘white,’ while the second is Danish for ‘farm.’ This word origin suggests that the village was founded by the Vikings in the 9th century. The original farming in the village was with geese. There are many theories about the origins of the name possible being related to the Romans, but no settlement in Bielby has been found, though close to Bielby is the ancient roman military fortress in the town of Hayton. This site is an important archaeological location with many significant findings and digs happening there.

Within the village, there is an Anglican church dedicated to St. Giles. The church was built over 900 years ago, at around the same time that Viking settlers in England were converting to Christianity. The other church structure in Bielby was once Methodist, but is now a private residence. Other historic buildings in the town include Bielbyville and Manor Cottage.

Within Bielby is the Pocklington Canal, which is used for many purposes both recreational and commercial.  There are still goose farms within the village, among other agricultural pursuits. The landscape is mostly low hills, offering ample opportunities to enjoy walking paths and the natural environment.
