History and toponymy
- Toponymy
The village name means "oak". In the local dialect, the name was not rounded to be recorded as oak or oake unlike equivalents — it remained the Old English āc. The name is sometimes pronounced "Yack".[2]
- Civil and ecclesiastical parish of the hamlet
Aike was formerly a township in the parishes of Lockington and St. John Beverley,[3] from 1866 Aike was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Lockington.[4] Lockington is the ecclesiastical parish of Lockington and Aike anyway because of St Mary's Church in Lockington, which lies Script error: No such module "convert". further west of the hamlet. In traditional definitions and histories of the county, Aike is a hamlet falling short of a chapelry as it has never had a Church of England chapel/church; however the term hamlet is becoming defunct.[5]
- Former status as an island
The land around Aike is too low-lying to drain into the nearby River Hull. Before construction began on the Beverley and Barmston Drain in 1798, Aike's cluster of central houses were on a small island.[6][7]
Economy and landmarks
Aike Grange Stud is a dressage park, and hosts regional competitions. Eighteenth-century "Sunnyside" or "Sunnyside cottage" is a brick-built, colour-washed house with a pantile roof and sash windows, designated the area's sole grade II listed building. It was listed in 1987.[8]
