KILNSEA:
Geographical and Historical information from the year 1835.

"KILNSEA, a parish in the southern division of the wapentake of HOLDERNESS, East riding of the county of YORK, 8 miles E.S.E. from Patrington, containing, with Spurm, 196 inhabitants. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the archdeaconry of the East riding, and diocese of York, rated in the king's books at £6. 8. 6., endowed with £600 royal bounty. L. Thompson, Esq. was patron in 1813. The church, dedicated to St. Helen, has been suffered to fall to ruin, being situated so near the brink of the cliff, upon which the sea is continually encroaching, that it must ultimately have been swept away; a part of the cemetery having already disappeared."
